[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#522310: virt-manager: recognizing USB devices requires restart of libvirt

[Andreas Unterkircher]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.7.0-1
Severity: normal

Not really sure if that problems more belong to virt-manager or libvirt0.
If I attach a USB device (crypto dongle, data stick, ...) it does not
shine up in

Details
 -> Add Hardware
  -> Physical Host Device
   -> USB Device
    -> The device drop down list remains empty.

Even restarting virt-manager is not enough - I have to restart libvirtd, then
start up virt-manager. Then the USB devices are listed in the drop down list.
