[virt-tools-list] Black vnc Display on virt-manager clients

[Juergen Sauer]

moin,
this is my premier post after subscribing the virt-tools ML. Introducing myself as user of libvirt/qemu/kvm + cluster setups.

I stumbled into an little problem using virt-manager.
The console display on an startet guest remains "black", even the guest is quete-well running.

i.E. this one is "Black", domain definition see below signature.
Also this connects fine, but Display is "black"

On my Supervisor Desktop I have

Idea, what's may be wrong ?
