This is a problem, that can not be fixed by us. Therefore removing owner Tiziano. Problem needs to be fixed upstream and the spice client for Windows needs to be rebuilts.

The sreen is not working (see image)
On the local machine is Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1. The test os done with the Client including protocol handler.
First Test: VM: Windows 7 Prov. Service Pack 1 with Spice guest tools
Second Test: Fedora 18 KDE
FOSS-Cloud 1.2.0
According to BST the main problem concerning non-matching keyboard layouts is fixed in our 0.5.6 build of virt-viewer. The distortions got fixed as well after patching the mingw-cairo package in the Fedora build environment.
Concerning USB-Redirection on Windows:
According to http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.spice.devel/11346 USB-Redirection is not yet supported on Windows.
Checking the mingw-spice-gtk spec file (http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/mingw-spice-gtk.git/tree/mingw-spice-gtk.spec) shows indeed that support for usbredir is disabled. mingw-spice-gtk is the cross-compiled spice-gtk library which is responsible for the spice part, including USB-Redirection. virt-viewer/remote-viewer is basically just a frontend.

Problems with AltGr are known:

unfortunately, they aren't easy to fix, even for VMWare:

Ok, several bugs are open concerning the AltGr problem:
with a possible solution discussed here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2013-May/msg00032.html
but that's a different problem than initially reported in this bug so this bug can be closed.
