It does not work any better on single head. I am using awesome3, and
my configuration is here:
http://git.madduck.net/v/etc/awesome.git?a=blob;f=.config/awesome/rc.lua;hb=HEAD

Nope. The problem I am seeing is that the virt-manager main window
pops up at +0+0 (above the awesome status bar) and cannot be moved
or resized.

Instead of describing this, I've recorded the following video of the
problem. I am a little tired, so please excuse the non-enthusiastic
narrator. :)
