Could you try what I suggested in http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2013-September/014430.html ? I think gvfs is only used if you use the helpers to fetch the certificate, and the rest of the code is just doing calls into librest/libsoup which I think are not using gio/gvfs. If this is a correct, then I think it's not a big issue that you don't have gvfs on your platform. If it is, I'll have to look where/how it's used to figure out how to workaround this. Hope that helps, Christophe
