Eventually, yeah. I think it would make sense for example if we want the same settings to apply to VNC or RDP connections (there is no RDP support yet in virt-viewer, but it should be trivial to add with freerdp and git://git.gnome.org/gb-rdp). I think that could be beneficial overall for RHEVM/ovirt.

I actually started with a SpiceFile approach (for which I have a patch ready if you want ;), then I realized that 1/3 of the fields are related to the client only (key bindings, fullscreen state, title), and the rest could be reused for other protocols. Also it is easy to place that above spice-gtk, so it seems cleaner not to put it in the same library.
