SRU Request:

Impact: Users who remotely connect to a server that has "0.0.0.0" as the vnc listen interface cannot use the remote console. This is a regression from previous ubuntu releases.

Development fix: This was fixed in Quantal by adding "0.0.0.0" to the list of exceptions in the fix_listen_address.patch patch.

Stable fix: A minimal debdiff was prepared to fix Precise in the same fashion.

Test Case:
1- Prepare remote libvirt server with a VM that has VNC configured to listen on all interfaces (0.0.0.0)
2- Using a Precise machine, attempt to connect using virt-manager, and open the VM's display
3- This should not result in an error message saying that "0.0.0.0" cannot be reached

Regression potential:
If there is something wrong with this simple fix, it would only affect remote libvirt users.
