Yes, I have remote-viewer.

On my Ubuntu box, I've now installed the following:

libvirt-dev
libvirt-glib-1.0-dev

After running configure and make, make install again I have virt-viewer. Thanks!

Now virt-viewer connects to VNC enabled guests and it appears to function correctly but I see an
error message from GDK on stderr:

(virt-viewer:19204): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_set_cursor: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed


Also, I'm unable to connect to spice enabled guests. I see the dialogue box error:

Failed to connect: Unsupported graphic type 'spice'

Kind regards,
Tom
