Bug Description
I have a Dell R410 server with 11.10 amd64 (upgraded from 11.04) running KVM. I connect to the server with the graphical Virtual Machine Manager from my desktop running 11.10. I am able to connect to the console for each guest once. If I close the connection and then try to reopen, the message "Connecting to graphical console for guest" stays displayed in place of the console. If I restart libvirt-bin on the server, I can then view the console once. After each time I access the GUI console I must restart libvirt-bin to view it again.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
I can reproduce this, somewhat, using remote connections. Can you verify that this happens to you connecting remotely, that is libvirt is not on the same host as virt-manager?
However, restarting libvirt on the server is not necessary (for me) - I can simply close and restart virt-manager on the client. Can you also confirm (or deny) that?
