Description psmis 2016-09-01 17:19:28 UTC 
Description of problem:
When starting Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-25_Alpha-2.iso in gnome-boxes, the vm-screen starts flickering in an interval of approx 1 second and the Keyboard-input to the VM doesn't work properly

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Gnome-Boxes: 3.20.2
Fedora 24 (Workstation Edition)

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Gnome-Boxes from Gnome-Terminal
2. Create a new VM
3. Boot into Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-25_Alpha-2.iso

Actual results:
Screen is flickering, Keyboard input doesn't reach the VM
Terminal Output: (gnome-boxes:6422): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_gl_area_make_current: assertion 'gtk_widget_get_realized (widget)' failed

Expected results:

FWIW, in my case keyboard and mouse input works but only if you are really quick at timing... to get the installer to accept my clicks on buttons and such I had to mash my mouse button repeatedly super quickly. Once installed, I applied all available package updates but the problem persists.

Just tested it with a fresh Installation of Fedora 24 Workstation x86_64 (+ updates)
The problem persists.
