just in case anyone else cares, this is the information I was looking for:

1) make sure xorg-x11-drv-qxl and spice-server are installed in the vm
2) virsh edit <vm>:
    <graphics type='spice' port='5903' keymap='en-us'/>
    <video>
      <model type='qxl' heads='1'/>
      <alias name='video0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
    </video>
   then restart the vm. You can't make these changes with virt-manager.
3) on the host, install spice-client
4) ssh -L5903:localhost:5903 <host>
5) on the client, install spice-client and run "spicec -h localhost -p 5903"

Lots of todos left (SSL, direct connections over the network, USB, Audio, and wasn't I supposed to get accelerated 3d graphics?). But at least it works.

A happy new year to those of you celebrating a new year tomorrow night. My best regards to all the others,
	Stephan
