[et-mgmt-tools] virt-manager without KVM

[David H. Vree]

I would like to run virt-manager on a number of Ubuntu 9.04 desktop 
boxes to manage virtual machines I have running on an Ubuntu Server 
box.  However, when I select virt-manager for installation in the repo's 
it indirectly selects kvm as a dependency.  However I do not need nor 
want kvm on these client workstations as all my virtual machines are on 
the server.  Installing KVM on the client workstations loads the 
intel-kvm kernel module which interferes with other software running on 
these machines.

Does virt-manager really require KVM to be running locally?   Is there a 
way to get virt-manager up and running without KVM?
