I've played with a approach simliar to (2) long ago.  Actually did it by
registering a "live" migration handler.  Didn't work that well too.
spice client will stay connected to both source and target for a long
time, and the spice code base simply couldn't handle that very well. One
problem was a timeout somewhere which was *way* to short.  Second was
that some stuff such as new connects are blocked in that "migration"
state.  Doesn't hurt much if that lasts a second or two, but for a few
minutes it isn't acceptable.  Maybe there was more which I don't remember.

If we can't connect to the target during migration, this means the "not seamless" solution is problematic as well, and we may need ==> a libvirt change <== : We need to connect to the target before migration starts. We can either do it upon client_migrate_info, under the assumption that the target is already up and that it is called just before migration. Or otherwise, we need to introduce a new command from libvirt, just before migration, with the same assumptions.

Regarding the timeout: do you remember if it occured on the server display_channel? It is a timeout, but it shouldn't be triggered with the seamless migration path...

Yonit.
