When the worker is started it could take a while to start processing commands. The reason is that the dispatcher handler is called after the worker so GLib will receive a FALSE answer to both prepare and check callbacks of the RedWorkerSource causing GLib to wait till another event is received. This is a regression since the introduction of GLib event loop, before the command processing was always attempted after any events. Commands (from QXL interface for cursor and display) are processed during the RedWorkerSource dispatch so if they are not processed just when the VM is started they will be processed on next event which could be from dispatcher (main thread requests), from existing connections or from pending timers. However in the case there are no clients connected and no other requests from main thread the worker thread won't process them. Setting the event_timeout to 0 cause the prepare callback to return TRUE so GLib will dispatch the RedWorkerSource. This was discovered attempting to use the tests in server/tests directory to reproduce a leak in RedWorker.

SPICE: Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments
=============================================================
SPICE is a remote display system built for virtual environments which
allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the
machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and
from a wide variety of machine architectures.
Installation
------------
The SPICE package uses GNU autotools, so the build install process
follows the standard process documented in the INSTALL file. As a
quick start you can do
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib
make
sudo make install
Or to install into a private user specific location
./configure --prefix=$HOME/spice
make
make install
The following mandatory dependencies are required in order to
build SPICE
Spice protocol >= 0.12.13
Pixman >= 0.17.7
OpenSSL
libjpeg
zlib
The following optional dependencies increase the available
functionality
Cyrus-SASL
libcacard >= 0.1.2 (Smartcard support)
Opus >= 1.0.0 (Opus audio encoding support)
LZ4 (LZ4 compression support)
GStreamer >= 1.0.0
Communication
-------------
To communicate with the development team, or to post patches
there is a technical mailing list:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
There is also a mailing list for new release announcements:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-announce/
To view known bugs, or report new bugs, in SPICE visit
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Spice
Bugs found when using an OS distribution's binary packages should
be reported to the OS vendors' own bug tracker first.
The latest SPICE code can be found in GIT at:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/
