Sorry, I'm not a Linux expert, I don't understand exactly how it works, because
spice has 2 executables:
/usr/bin/spice-vdagent
/usr/sbin/spice-vdagentd

There is no .desktop file as far as I can see, it runs as a service
It just comes preinstalled out of the box in Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Neon but in
Neon the service is not enabled...

if you throw a 'sudo service spice-vdagent status' or 'sudo service
spice-vdagentd status' in a fresh and clean installation of Ubuntu or Kubuntu
you get:

     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/spice-vdagentd.service; indirect;
vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Sat 2022-11-05 10:51:41 -03; 1h 26min ago
TriggeredBy: ● spice-vdagentd.socket
    Process: 1162 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/spice-vdagentd $SPICE_VDAGENTD_EXTRA_ARGS
(code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
   Main PID: 1164 (spice-vdagentd)
      Tasks: 2 (limit: 4551)
     Memory: 960.0K
        CPU: 3.711s
     CGroup: /system.slice/spice-vdagentd.service
             └─1164 /usr/sbin/spice-vdagentd
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Now if you do the same in a fresh install of Neon you get:

○ spice-vdagentd.service - Agent daemon for Spice guests
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/spice-vdagentd.service; indirect;
vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: inactive (dead)
TriggeredBy: ● spice-vdagentd.socket
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

And in Neon if you try to enable the service, you get the error I posted...

The file /lib/systemd/system/spice-vdagentd.service has de the same content in
the three distros

I really don't know what else to look for.
