Description of problem: Non-root user has gnome-applet-vm running. Selects a DomU from the drop-down menu, then the "Configuration" item from the pop-up menu. Gives correct root password, but when virt-manager comes up all configuration items and buttons are still greyed out except menus and tabs. Same non-root user then selects "Run Virtual Machine Manager..." from the applet drop-down menu. Connects to the local Xen host, highlights the same DomU in the GUI, and clicks on the "Details" button. Configuration items are NOT greyed out. No additional passwords were entered. UI should be consistent, presumably the "Configuration" menu should actually work for non-root holding a root cookie. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-applet-vm-0.1.2-1.el5 virt-manager-0.2.6-7.0.2.el5
gnome-applet-vm is deprecated upstream, and is highly unlikely to be updated again in RHEL5. Closing this bug as WONTFIX
