Hi Christian,
databunka ~ # echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0
Thats shown when i do echo $DISPLAY on the machine.
when i connect from a remote system with
' ssh -Y root@....' the virt-manager pop up like it should.
the problem was only when i sit infront of the machine, logged in as
user 'root'.
my thought was that something is wrong with gtk or so , because of the
error message.
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 285, in main
raise RuntimeError(_("Unable to initialize GTK: %s") % gtk_error)
RuntimeError: Kann GTK nicht initialisieren: could not open display
maybe its the X11DisplayOffset 10 in the sshd.config ?

Hi Marko,
make sure you have the DISPLAY variable exported to root as I asume
you've been
logged in as user but then dropped privileges up to root and maybe
your user
environment wasn't inherited from within your X session.
# echo $DISPLAY
:0
So long,
Christian Parpart.
