Are you talking about using Spice as a sort of graphics toolkit? I don't think that's impossible, but I think the right approach here would be to write something like a gtk/qt backend (for gtk there is already broadway [1], so yet another backend, but this time using spice). If you want to remote an application without a vm you can already use Xspice [2] for it too, but it is not at the level I think you are talking about (but perhaps will suit you).
