It might be a good idea to have separate commits for some of the
mechanical changes, like s/vncViewer/viewer/, pulling the Tunnel object
out, etc.

Also, if the spice widget isn't installed, we should show an appropriate
console error. Right now, virt-manager will fail entirely trying to
import the module.

This should be a separate patch, and even then I don't know if it should
be an unconditional default change (maybe dependent on OS type/QXL
support or similar). I have to educate myself a bit more here.

Thanks,
