That is because some other desktops will do that.  KDE doesn't

OK....  Try this simple test.....

Reboot the KDE system.  Then login via an SSH session.  Not a graphical session.

You should then see....

egreshko@f34k2 ~]$ uptime
  14:31:23 up 0 min,  1 user,  load average: 1.73, 0.47, 0.16

[egreshko@f34k2 ~]$ ps -eaf | grep spice

I then send something to the socket and Ctrl-C to end the ncat session.

egreshko    1854    1828  0 14:31 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto spice
[egreshko@f34k2 ~]$ ncat -U /run/spice-vdagentd/spice-vdagent-sock
0.21.0I ENTER SOMETHING
^C

[egreshko@f34k2 ~]$ ps -eaf | grep spice
root        1859       1  0 14:32 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/spice-vdagentd

Now the daemon is running, triggered by the ncat communication.  And we se....

[egreshko@f34k2 ~]$ systemctl --no-pager -l status spice-vdagentd.service

Because the daemon doesn't know what to do with "I ENTER SOMETHING.
