Description of problem:

When I connect to a remote QEMU/KVM in virt-manager, it asks me for my user password.  I enter it, and it accepts it.

I open a running virtual machine's remote console, it first shows "Connecting to graphical console for guest".  And, asks me for my password again.

Then, the VM's console area goes black, and it asks me for my password again.  (But it won't let me type for about 10 seconds.)

Then it asks me for my password again.

And again.

Then it shows the VM's console with correct content.  And, asks me for my password again.

Then it asks me for my password again.

Then, I can use the VM.

(No, there's no editing mistake here.  I have to type my password 7 times.)



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

virt-manager source build from git.  v1.2.1.r4564.466bf92-1 (master, at least as of a short while ago).  This happened identically on v1.2.1-release.

libvirt 1.2.17 (-2 Arch)

openbsd-netcat 1.105_7 (-7 Arch)

polkit 0.112 (-4 Arch)

openssh 6.9p1 (-2 Arch)

Yeah, both of these are Arch systems using kernel 4.1.3 (-1 Arch)

I'm starting here, knowing this may not actually be a virt-manager issue.  Not sure how to diagnose who is behind this further, but willing to run commands/tests you give me.


How reproducible:
Completely

Steps to Reproduce:
1. polkit authentication.  gpasswd -a username kvm.  re-log.  /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/49-org.libvirt.unix.manager.rules:
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
   if (action.id == "org.libvirt.unix.manage" &&
      subject.isInGroup("kvm")) {
         return polkit.Result.YES;
   }
});
2. virt-manager to connect to remote hypervisor (QEMU/KVM) via ssh, my username - not root.

Actual results:
7 password prompts

Expected results:
1 password prompt.  Maybe none using the autoconnect feature.
