These three patches enable the use of the SPICE protocol for the VM image,
which provides benefits such as dynamically resizing the display of
the guest, sharing the clip-board, smoother mouse support, etc.

To test, generate the image with something like:

$ image=$(./pre-inst-env guix system image -t qcow2 gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl)
$ cp $image /tmp/vm-test.qcow2
$ chmod +w /tmp/vm-test.qcow2

Then launch a SPICE-capable solution such as GNOME Boxes, and enjoy!

I'd like to have these patches included in the RC2 that will go out later today.

Thanks,

Maxim Cournoyer (3):
  gnu: spice-vdagent: Update to 0.21.0 and enable GTK+ support.
  services: spice-vdagent: Clear the socket file prior to starting.
  gnu: system: Add SPICE capability to the VM image.

I've now pushed this series to the version-1.3.0 branch.
