so... I've been tinkering with KVM again.      my desktop is windows, 
the linux server is remote, so I have a ssh X tunnel running, and XMing 
running locally, and launch virt-manager.   opens fine, shows the VM I 
created some time ago.   I select that VM (which is running centos 6), 
and 'open', a window opens for a few seconds, then blam, virt-manager 
exits before I can click on the 'details' lightbulb.

if I run virt-manager --debug, I get the following output after clicking 
on 'open'...
