[libvirt-users] virt-manager 0.9.0-r2 gentoo, no starting

[Marko Weber]

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 at ....'  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.

maybe its the X11DisplayOffset 10  in the sshd.config ?
