[virt-tools-list] virt-viewer over ssh

[Dave Allan]

I'm having trouble with virt-viewer not connecting to a VM on a remote
host over SSH.  It connects, briefly gives me a black VM display, and
then says that the remote disconnected.  I've noticed a few paches on
review that seem to reference misbehavior with SSH.[1][2]  Before I go
dig into this, is anybody else seeing this behavior?  Guido, what was
your motivation for these patches?  I have to admit that in the quick
look I took last night I don't understand their purpose.
