You seem to be right. I explored the files in traceback.img and they contain 
this line.

So there are two solutions:

1. Ask James Laska (or someone else) to fix this problem.

2. Ask Anaconda team to provide us with their "official" and supported solution.

After inspecting updates.img, there is a lot of code copied from (some old 
version of) anaconda. That doesn't seem to me as a good solution, because we 
might get completely unrelated problems in the process. I imagine anaconda guys 
could provide us with a much better solution. For example they could add 
"traceback" kernel option that causes anaconda crash on startup. This is just a 
few lines of code, it would be maintained, and doesn't involve any updates.img 
downloading etc. What do you think? I'll discuss with anaconda team if noone 
has better ideas.

eog doesn't help much when I still need to download it. PNG can be viewed in 
the browser.

I think hitting "Virtual Machine -> Print screen" (available when running VMs 
from virt-manager) or generic Alt+Printscreen (that would include VM window 
borders, but who cares) is just really simple as well.

Thanks.
