Thanks for the heads up. I added a comment in that suse bug asking for the patch to be submitted upstream. But if that doesn't materialize in a week, ping back here Thanks, Cole

Your welcome, Cole. Thank you also for noting this in the upstream bug. I didn't see a patch for the actual software in the bugzilla link, however the opensuse link I noted above seems to address the issue, however I'm sure there is a more clean way of doing it, or perhaps some software dependencies haven't caught up respectively to different versions of gtk.

Nope. And looking at the suse RPMs I see a ton of patches that they've never submitted upstream, some which are clear bug fixes... quite frustrating. I've attached their patch, can you try it locally and ensure it fixes your issues? If so I'll push it upstream Thanks, Cole

Works great. Thanks! It is too bad that their patches aren't contributed back. My advice is use their patches (if they work) and note "Obtained from SUSE" in commitlogs. When their software build process breaks with the next update, they will look at the logs and find out why. This may encourage them to contribute more to the project :) Thanks, Jason -- Jason Helfman | FreeBSD Committer jgh@FreeBSD.org | http://people.freebsd.org/~jgh | The Power to Serve

Thanks for testing, I pushed a variant upstream now: commit 0b391fe9eda81e6c01ba37171190a8d9b2a51aad Author: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com> Date: Tue Dec 2 14:01:28 2014 -0500 virt-manager: Enforce gobject introspection versions

suse benefits from the work of the upstream virt-manager community, least they can do when they find bugs and write patches is send them to the upstream mailing list. Requiring the upstream maintainer to go crawling through downstream RPMs for bug fixes does not scale. - Cole
