Public bug reported: Hi,
When I start or shutdown a VM via virt-manager, it has the side effect of freeze the Gnome-Shell desktop for 3 seconds. I can move the mouse, but I can't click on anything to get the focus, or drag'n drop a window. (look at the desktop record in the attachments) I have noticed the following line in my journactl when the freeze happens: nov. 28 21:07:38 xxxx gnome-shell[3133]: [AppIndicatorSupport-WARN] Attempting to re-register :1.138/org/ayatana/NotificationItem/virt_manager; resetting instead nov. 28 21:07:38 xxxx gnome-shell[3133]: [AppIndicatorSupport-WARN] Item :1.138/org/ayatana/NotificationItem/virt_manager is already registered nov. 28 21:07:38 xxxx gnome-shell[3133]: [AppIndicatorSupport-WARN] Attempting to re-register :1.138/org/ayatana/NotificationItem/virt_manager; resetting instead nov. 28 21:07:38 xxxx gnome-shell[3133]: [AppIndicatorSupport-WARN] Item :1.138/org/ayatana/NotificationItem/virt_manager is already registered nov. 28 21:07:43 xxxx gnome-shell[3133]: [AppIndicatorSupport-WARN] Attempting to re-register :1.138/org/ayatana/NotificationItem/virt_manager; resetting instead nov. 28 21:07:43 xxxx gnome-shell[3133]: [AppIndicatorSupport-WARN] Item :1.138/org/ayatana/NotificationItem/virt_manager is already registered This is really annoying as I'm starting/stopping VMs frequently in my workflow. Please provide a fix or a workaround. Thanks.
