SRU Request:

Impact: Users who run virt-manager for the first time don't get the proper error dialog informing them that they need to be in the libvirtd group

Development Fix: This has been fixed in Quantal by removing the superfluous line and extra comma from the broken patch

Stable fix: A minimal debdiff was prepared that fixes the broken patch in the same way

Test case:
1- Install virt-manager on a new Precise installation without adding user to libvirtd group
2- Launch it with virt-manager --debug
3- Notice error on console, and no error dialog to inform user

Regression potential:
The bad patch results in a python error, so the chances that this could get even worse are slim. Only the code path for the error dialog is changed, so regular users won't see the change.
