[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#704823: Slow network causes UI hangs

[martin f krafft]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.9.4-2
Severity: normal

When connecting to a remote host over a slow SSH link (qemu+ssh),
the virt-manager UI freezes until the connection is established.
Subsequent use of the UI is sluggish at best, e.g. navigating the
properties dialog or adding a resource to the host.
