The dbus python bindings are using a deprecated python API and should
switch to the newer recommended method. It's just a warning to the
developer that the bindings should be updated. Since this is dbus code
it's not something specific to virt-manager and is harmless for the time
being.

If you want the error to go away, I'd recommend filing a bug with the
dbus guys.
