[virt-tools-list] virt-manager crashes at startup with awesome WM

[Petteri]

I am using virt-manager 0.9.1 with ubuntu 12.04 in awesome WM.

Virt-manager crashes about once in a day. After the crash it does not
start again without machine reboot. The following error can be seen when
I am trying start virt-manager with --debug

virt-manager --debug

The program 'virt-manager' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 343 error_code 165 request_code 155 minor_code 8)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
   function.)


Quick google search indicates that others are also suffering from the
same problem: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843590#c1
