Steps to Reproduce: 1. File, Open Connection 2. Choose Remote tunnel over SSH 3. Enter a hostname Actual results: The URI generated is 'qemu+ssh://root@hostname/system' Expected results: The URI generated should be 'qemu+ssh://hostname/system' Additional info: libvirt does not require root access and should frown upon using the root account to access libvirt if anything. A username should not be hardcoded, or at the least should detect if a username is provided in the entry field and use that instead.

Just committed a fix for this, the user can now specify the username via user@hostname syntax when opening a new connection: http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virt-manager-- devel?cs=a1e97ce0a1c8 I think this is the safest fix, rather than change existing behavior when no username is specified. Closing as UPSTREAM.
