Well, I wrote about x2go client because I found it better in network 
traffic than spice client itself.

Two years ago we implemented a very simple spice-based application which 
asked for a credentials and connected to proxmox using those credentials 
and then it shown the VMs where that user could connect to, as many 
users only have one VM (or VDI in this case), the desktop showed directly.
That was done with bash and zenity mainly, on the forums is said how to 
download the proxmox ticket from the command line and use it as 
parameter to remote-viewer.

So, if you want a spice approach, it can be done by you with some work, 
I do not know if Proxmox team will develop a desktop client for this in 
the future, but it can be acomplished with some bash scripting or using 
promox API.

Anyway, I reiterate, spice client is... "network expensive", and you'll 
need a good connection to work properly, in a LAN it shouldn't be a 
problem, but for remote clients is unbearable.
