[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#510341: virt-manager: Virt-manager segfaults when video mode changes.

[Robert LeBlanc]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.6.0-6
Severity: important

I have an issue where virt-manager crashes when the video mode of the VM changes. Running the no-fork argument I only 
get segmentation fault. The ~/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log show nothing worthwhile for debugging the problem.

Since I'm still installing XP, the video changes quite a bit. Only virt-manager crashes, the VM still runs.
