Specifically, starting an agent on the client machine, and then running virt-manager under the agent avoids the second prompt. I still think that the failure of virt-manager to use the provided keyfile for the console access should count as a bug: after all, if I've provided a keyfile, the location of which virt-manager has stored in its configuration, then why isn't it using it for console access? I understand that I can get around this by using an agent, but why should I have to? Celejar
