The problem is still present, and I have collected the debug output. FYII,

* My laptop runs Archlinux and In Arch the default python is python3,
which makes it a little tricky to install python applications by hand.
Thus I tested on a VirtualBox guest, running Ubuntu 12.04. The remote
Xen host is the same.
* The PYTHONPATH trick didn't work for me, for some reason. So I did
`sudo python setup.py install` in python-virtinst and `sudo make
install` in virt-manager and ran just `virt-manager --debug`.
* python-virtinst and virt-manager are both compiled from HEAD of Git.
