Hi all, I've written a tool that configured Virtual Machine Manager, but I've got a condition that I am now sure how to handle... If the user isn't logged in and I configure their ~/.gconf/apps/virt-manager/*, and then they log in, everything works great. However, if they've already logged in and there was no prior virt-manager configuration, the custom config is overwritten and lost when the user logs out. Similarly, if VMM is closed, I write the config and then they open VMM (again, having logged into gnome where there was no ~/.gconf/apps/virt-manager), it acts like there is no configuration (it tries to auto-connect to localhost and doesn't show the remote machines).
I have no idea how these gconf things work. But I remember there were two pieces of configuration that needed to be changed, I've done that through some gconftool GUI, though. Have you tried using gconftool-2 CLI (or anythign similar) for setting up the configuration instead of overwriting the config files? It looks like there needs to be something else done in order for the config to be read and not overridden by virt-manager, but it doesn't sound like virt-manager specific thing, but more like as Gtk or GConf specific.
I am guessing this behaviour is a because VMM doesn't check it's configuration file after logging into gnome (either at all, or at least when there was no config at gnome login). Is there a way I can tell virt-manager to re-check the config?
