If I point it at a display which isn't running any window manager at all, I get the bare windows and they function fine. If I point it at a display with fvmw running, then the windows don't come up (or stay up, anyway). It acts like there is some window property fvwm is interpreting to mean "hide this window utterly". The virt-manager process is, in fact, still running, but the window is nowhere to be seen. The log file you mention is completely empty. I better see if anyone on the fvwm mailing list knows what is happening :-). -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
