I'm not sure if I'm having VNC trouble, or KVM trouble. I'm using vinagre as my VNC client, connecting to localhost. Usually I use TightVNC but Avi says it's broken, and it sure won't attach to a QEMU server. Both work fine if I connect to one of my own VNC servers (Linux). Against a KVM consol

Like I said in my other network puzzlement thread, I have one KVM guest which is working fine. Or, it was until I tried to add a second one, and hosed my virtual bridge. The guest is still running, but since I restarted the bridge interface that its NIC was attached to, it's no longer attached.
