I have no idea how SPICE performs now, but there's definitely
nothing in a modern X Windows desktop that it cannot deal with. The
only negative point it might have compared to Windows is IMO the
rendering of text.
I think the question I was raising was not whether Spice could handle
X, but that given the things you can do with X, is all of Spice
really needed. IOW, would we get 99% of the way there with Xv
accelerated overlays and Xrender based compositing for VNC?
Suppose only 1% of spice is needed to support X. Given that we wish to
support Windows well, does it matter?
I understand X better than I understand Windows so it's easier for me to
understand things as they relate to X.
My original question was how much better is Spice support for Windows
than it is for X. If Spice is really designed for Windows and does
really well for it, that's great. I'm just trying to understand what
it's good for and what it's not good for.
