Sure, I created a connection to vbox+unix:///session which lets me see
my virtualbox VMs in virt-manager. But if a open a VM, virt-manager runs
VirtualBox to show the display (differently from QEMU guests, for
example).

Then I tried to launch the machine with:

  $ VirtualHeadless --startvm "GuestMachine" -vnc -vncport 5900

and then tried to connect to it with

  $ virt-manager -c vnc+tcp://localhost:5900

but I got this:

packet 1380336156 bytes received from server too large, want 262144

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1146,
in _open_thread
    self.vmm = self._try_open()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1130,
in _try_open
    flags)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 102, in
openAuth
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
libvirtError: packet 1380336156 bytes received from server too large,
want 262144

Why I can't connect via VNC? Other clients seems to be able to do that
(Vinagre for example).

Cheers
