Description Martin Schuppert 2013-07-31 06:34:57 EDT

Description of problem:
Using virt-manager to connect a physical or ISO CD-ROM image do not always work on KDE. The "Choose Media" box to select the image or physical device do not always show up under KDE. This happens only with KDE. After changing to Gnome the issue were not seen any more.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
* RHEL 6.4 
* virt-manager-0.9.0-18.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
occasional, but when the window do not show up for a VM it stays like this until the KVM host or libvirtd/virt-manager will be restarted.

Steps to Reproduce:
Using virt-manager:
1. create new VM (just one virtio disk and the IDE CD-ROM)
2. go to VM details -> IDE CDROM1
3. press "Connect" button

Actual results:
sometimes for a VM the "Choose Media" window do not show up. 

Expected results:
"Choose Media" window always shows up when press the "Connect" button.

Additional info:
This issue were not seen using newer upstream version virt-manager-0.9.1

Comment 2 Martin Kletzander 2013-07-31 07:49:08 EDT

This is most likely fixed upstream with RELEASE-0.9.0-1-79-g5efe079:

    Top level windows shouldn't be visible by default
