Also, depending on what distros virt-manager needs to support, it
might be worth switching virt-manager to actually use GtkBuilder
instead of Glade for its UI description. Apparently it is available
from GTK 2.12 onwards

  http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/stable/gtk-migrating-GtkBuilder.html

This excludes use on RHEL5 (GTK 2.10), but any other distro released
since approx 2007 should support GtkBuilder
