+virt-viewer (lightweight graphical display for libvirt VMs)
+
+The "Virtual Machine Viewer" application (virt-viewer for short)
+is a lightweight interface for interacting with the graphical
+display of a libvirt guest OS. It is intended as a replacement for
+the traditional vncviewer client, since the latter does not support
+SSL/TLS encryption of x509 certificate authentication.
+
+This software requires gtk-vnc, and optionally, spice. If built
+without libvirt (>= 0.9.7), this package will only contain the
+remote-viewer client, a simple VNC/SPICE viewer.
