Comment 18 for bug 615077

I gave libvirt access to my .Xauthority file and then tried via virt-manager to launch a vm using a local sdl window. I opened virt-manager with --debug.

On 'starting the vm' I got an error message like this:
"commandline read: virtio-blk-pci,b : Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 808, in run_domain
    vm.startup()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 1296, in startup
    self._backend.create()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 333, in create
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: char device redirected to /dev/pts/18
"
(the vm doesn't boot).
