qspice is the package related to the server side, qspice-client/spice-xpi are both client packages (the other one is just a kvm bugfix).  I use spice every day, adding -spice port=5940,password=pass -qxl 1,ram=64 to a virtual machine should get you going, the drivers for windows are on spice-space and rhel/cent already has the requirements (qxl device,usb tablet,mouse tweaks).
