You might want to upgrade to fedora 15 so you can use spice
(http://spice-space.org/) out of the box.

It is also possible to use spice on f14, but it requires
funky wrappers to get it working with libvirt:

If you try it, be sure to backup your original virt
image file so you can restore it if the spice driver
installs go horribly wrong.
