Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.8.7-1
Severity: important

The virt-manager doesn't ask me password via ssh-askpass, but it only
shows password dialog in the termianl when running virt-manager with
--no-fork option.

If virt-manager used without --no-fork, there is no password dialog at
all and the whole virt-manager UI will hang, and eats CPU resources
maybe caused by busy-waiting.
