(this reproduces at commit 0687cea6a86e; IOW the regression is not from
the recent GTK-related patches, but due to building p2v with GTK3. as
opposed to GTK2)
In the first dialog, when the Test Connection button is clicked, a
spinner is supposed to be shown to the left, while p2v communicates via
v2v over ssh. This spinner is seen when running virt-p2v directly, but
not when running virt-p2v from a VM (using either a Live CD, or the
"run-virt-p2v-in-a-vm" makefile target).
This difference is not seen when virt-p2v is built with GTK2; in that
case, *both* scenarios (direct & VM) show the spinner properly.
I don't have an idea what the cause is. I vaguely suspect it could be
related to the windowing environment (window manager) in use. It pretty
much looks like a GTK3 bug to me; whatever the windowing environment,
the spinner should either be there or not. (It's possible that we have a
virt-p2v bug, of course, but why isn't the symptom consistent then? GTK3
should not have a dependency at all on the Window Manager.)
