Bug 517614

I get the impression this applet is not supported much at the moment, but it appears the two virt-manager windows spawn alongside the authentication window.

I have noticed some instances one window for virt-manager will appear with the authentication box, and the second window for virt-manager will appear when the VM display opens after being authenticated.

Other times, most of the time, both virt-manager windows appear with the authentication window, and the VM window appears by itself after being authenticated.

 Since the latest version of virt-manager appears to include new notification tray icon functionality that can replace this old and somewhat unsupported applet...

 Can we get the updated version 0.80 of virt-manager pushed into F11, so I can remove the buggy applet?

 Please? :)

 Since the gnome-applet-vm bugs aren't getting much attention, changing this to classification under virt-manager (apologies if this annoys anyone).

 As noted above, virt-manager 0.80 replicates the functionality provided by gnome-applet-vm, and since gnome-applet-vm is not supported, can we simply get it deprecated, and push virt-manager 0.80 into Fedora 11?

Note, the package for virt-manager 0.80 exists in Koji for Fedora 12 already.

 virt-manager-0.8.0-3.fc12

Does this bug exist in the virt-manager version of the applet? I don't think it does

We have no immediate plans to push virt-manager-0.8.0 into Fedora 11, so this bug should stay open against gnome-applet-vm

 I cannot see any updated ChangeLog for virt-manager on the website, but from what I can tell, virt-manager only had the 'applet mode' added in version 0.8.0, which as you have noted isn't going to be pushed into F11.

 So I have stopped using gnome-vm-applet, and now just launch virt-manager and will wait for F12 to use the new applet functionality.

 I have upgraded to F12, and no longer need gnome-applet-vm. The virt-manager upgrade works fine in it's place.

gnome-applet-vm is dead upstream, and no bugs will be fixed in F11. virt-manager provides an applet in F12+ which obsoletes gnome-applet-vm. Closing as WONTFIX.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
