I am attempting to run virt-viewer via a CYGWIN X session on my Windows laptop, 
but am getting all sorts of errors when I do.

>From a CYGWIN session, I run startx, then ssh -X to the KVM Host server. From 
>there I run the following command:

[root@kvmhost1 ~]# virt-viewer rhel6guest

And the virt-viewer window does display, however with no readable font on the 
task bar, just a bunch of rectangles. After a few minutes the virt-viewer 
screen dies, too.

Below are the errors I get when running the virt-viewer command:


Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display "localhost:10.0".

(virt-viewer:18802): Gdk-WARNING **: Connection to display localhost:10.0 
appears to be untrusted. Pointer and keyboard grabs and inter-client 
communication may not work as expected.

(virt-viewer:18802): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly 
output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='latin'

Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'virt-viewer' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 523 error_code 3 request_code 41 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
aborting...
Aborted

Anyone have any insights?
