## Description

A GTK widget that displays a SPICE server. It sends keyboard/mouse events and can also share clipboard...

Arbitrary key events can be sent thanks to `spice_display_send_keys()`.

The widget will optionally grab the keyboard and the mouse when focused if the properties “grab-keyboard” and “grab-mouse” are TRUE respectively. It can be ungrabbed with `spice_display_keyboard_ungrab()` and `spice_display_mouse_ungrab()`, and by setting a key combination with `spice_display_set_grab_keys()`.

Finally, `spice_display_get_pixbuf()` will take a screenshot of the current display and return an GdkPixbuf (that you can then easily save to disk).
