Take a look in $HOME/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log  It shouldn't have a hard
dependancy on the GNOME stack. The only bits we use as the gnome-keyring
for storing VNC passwords, and the GNOME help system. Neither should cause
it exit upon startup - we merely disable those bitsof functionality if the
depenendancies are missing.
