Description Matthias Clasen 2013-10-16 15:50:32 UTC 
(from Montreal summit session)

When launching boxes without any boxes on the box (ahem), it comes up just empty, which looks pretty uninviting. It should have a welcome screen in that case.

Are we sure this is not a duplicate of bug#710277 ? I'm pretty sure both are about slow startup of libvirt on Jon's machine as he did have some boxes setup already.

I take that back. I just removed all my boxes to try libvirt system import and I don't see the welcome UI either. Some regression. It uses clutter/clutter-gtk so I wont be surprised if this is yet another clutter regression.

Fixed in git master.
