  If vte is compiled out, it's better to hide or grey out the menu item and give a warning or debug
message to show why it's not supported. 


I did not receive this mail '[virt-tools-list] [PATCH 20/22] app: add "machine" UI', either.
Here is my other comments.

1. Since virt-viewer have -w and -r options which can wait for a vm to startup, It's better to add a 'Run' menu to start the VM.

2. The 'Pause' menu item should be changed to 'Resume' after pausing the VM, and changed to 'pause' again after running.

3. +                    <property name="label" translatable="yes">_Machine</property>
   I prefer 'Virtual Machine' to 'Machine'. It's same as virt-manager.

4. <property name="label" translatable="yes">_Reset</property>
   Does 'Reset' means 'Reboot'? 

   <property name="label" translatable="yes">_Power down</property>
   Does 'Power down' means 'Shut Down'?

   I think the menu item name should be same as other products of redhat, like virt-manager, ovirt.


Thanks
