I.e. those who have a dozen VM at most, a single "server" to host them, and said "server" is most probably translates to a localhost. I don't see all that as a bad thing, but each GUI has its share of limitations once it comes to managing something in big quantities, and both GNOME boxes and Virt Manager follow that principle. > Installing some -gnome packages still doesn't make me a GNOME user ;) But installing them gives you a pile of GNOME core packages by dependency. Thus the software in question behaves the way GNOME developers want it to behave, and the dependent software does it too. #768376 is a fine example of that. Thus I have bad news for you - installing either GNOME boxes or Virt Manager (or other GNOME stuff) made you GNOME user, but if you insist you're not - I won't press it ;) For the record, for me both "GNOME" and "GNOME user" does not have a negative connotation. About the only flaw of GNOME project for me is their abuse of Scrum software development methodology, and that's a topic for another discussion. Reco
