An updated vino package that fixes a bug is now available.
Vino is a Virtual Network Computing (VNC) server for GNOME. It allows remote users to connect to a
running GNOME session using VNC.
* Vino incorrectly assumed the X shared memory extension would always provide support for shared
memory pixmaps. This lead to crashes with a BadImplementation error message. This update adds a
check, ensuring shared memory pixmap support is available before requesting it.
All Vino users are advised to upgrade to these updated vino packages, which resolve this issue.

1.211.1. RHBA-2010:0281: bug fix update
An updated virt-manager package that fixes several bugs and adds an enhancement is now available.
Virtual Machine Manager (virt-manager) is a graphical tool for administering virtual machines for
KVM, Xen, and QEMU. virt-manager can start, stop, add or remove virtualized devices, connect to a
graphical or serial console, and see resource usage statistics for existing virtualized guests on local or
remote machines. virt-manager uses the libvirt API.
This updated package addresses the following issues:
* adding new isolated virtual networks could create broken or abnormal network configurations. The
updated package provides better error handling for network creation.
* various errors occurred after adding 19 volumes to the storage pool.
* various virt-manager menus and menu items did not have keyboard shortcuts.
* paused virtualized guests could be sent keys using the 'Send Key' options which could make paused
virtualized guests shut down or restart. The 'Send Key' menu is now disabled if a virtualized guest is

paused.
(BZ#509808
* setting the "Autoconnect" option resulted in an error and virtualized guests consoles were not
automatically opened.
* migration from a remote host to a local host (both hosts connected to virt-manager) failed. The
updated package resolves this issue and migrations to and from a local host work.
* migrations were, in some cases, very slow with virt-manager for systems with multiple network
interface cards of different speeds. The updated virt-manager has an advanced option which allows
users to specify which IP address and port to use for a live migration. Specifying the fastest network
interface will speed up migrations.
