virt-viewer window to 10.04 Server closes immediately in 12.10

[Ian Redfern]

I was using virt-viewer fine in 12.04, and the server (running 10.04) has not been upgraded.

virsh -c qemu+ssh://myserver/system list

works and shows

 Id Name State
----------------------------------------------------
 4 myvm running

but

virt-viewer -c qemu+ssh://myserver/system myvm

opens a black window, pauses 2 seconds then closes it with no error message.

The server shows two SSH connections that are then closed.

When I run the same command on the server, it works fine. I'm using virt-viewer 0.5.3-1 on the 12.10 client.

Is the virt-viewer in 12.10 incompatible with 10.04 Server? Is there any other debugging I can do?
