Then I want to cancel the dialogbox, click the "Cancel" button, then the dialogbox will temporarily disappear and then appear.  Until I click the cancel button 3 times the dialogbox completely disappeared  and the virt-manager told me that the connection failed. I think this is also a unfriendly design.

Ahh, that's unfortunate. I wonder, is there any way to cause the 
virt-manager to store the entered password in the keyring? Or would that 
need to be handled by openssh as well?
