Dear Alon,

The VM runs on a headless pc, that I access through VNC.
I did the following:

a) Installed wireshark, run as root (couldn't manage to run it as a 
normal user, even after adding the user to the wireshark group - perhaps 
a selinux denial).
b) Started capture on lo. I waited for a while, nothing got captured.
c) I started virt-manager, and then started the VM. Nothing captured.
d) I displayed the VM in virt-manager viewer, and capture started. I 
waited until the capture log stopped having new entries.
e) I verified that each time I move the mouse, packets were captured.
f) I verified that when I press keys, again packets are logged.

I have saved the capture from inside wireshark here: 
http://server.intellitech.gr/spice.cap.bz2

Towards the end of the capture, is only key presses, and the mouse 
movement outside the VM viewer, to stop capturing.

I haven't managed to find the spice dissector in wireshark (I got 
through yum).

Regards,

George
