Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Daniel Berrangé 2012-12-04 16:54:08 UTC
Description of problem:
Upstream the intent is for virt-manager to switch to GTK3, with the GTK2 based branch of virt-manager being put into a bug-fix only mode thereafter.  It is thus seriously undesirable for us to continue to ship a GTK2 based virt-manager in RHEL-7. We should aim to complete the upstream switch to GTK3 and include that in RHEL-7.0

Comment 1 Dave Allan 2012-12-06 16:47:17 UTC
Dan, what's the status of this work upstream?

Comment 2 Martin Kletzander 2013-07-09 06:32:05 UTC
This work is done upstream and was picked up downstream in virt-manager-0.10.0.

Comment 3 tingting zheng 2013-07-15 07:42:56 UTC

virt-manager-0.10.0-1.el7.noarch

From virt-manager debug info,gtk version is 3.8.2,so move the bug to VERIFIED.
