When you connect to the Centos server from your remote console you said before that you're
using ssh.  Is this from another Linux system?  You need to ensure that you have access to
your local graphical interface from the remote server i.e. that you have a valid DISPLAY
variable set.  If "echo $DISPLAY" returns an empty string then maybe you just need to do
"ssh -X centos_server" when connecting so that ssh will forward the X11 back to your
display.  Then virt-manager should work.

Then again I might be misunderstanding the problem.
