Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to connect to a remote KVM virtual machine with spice
2. Authentication dialog appears and password is typed in
3. Program crashes

It should connect and provide a display to the remote VM.

I was able to duplicate this bug on a different machine with the same install (Fedora 18 64bit) and package version.  remote-viewer would connect and display properly until I enabled the password option at which point it would crash with the error previously mentioned.
