[libvirt-users] virt-manager thru window's remote desktop

[Hisao Taguchi]

Hi,

Sorry, it's my mistake.
When I changed the login user of the terminal server client to 'root',
I can successfully do the operation of virt-manager of remote KVM host and
I can do any operation of the guests through the terminal server client.

It's a little bit unstable though ;-)
