X11 lockup Win7Pro and KVM

I am new to KVM, having run VMware Server (free version) for
several years.

I have the current version of KVM running on CentOS 5.8 with all
updates applied.  This is running on a SuperMicro mini-tower with
8GB RAM.  /proc/cpuinfo shows this as 'Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU
X3430  @ 2.40GHz'.  This is not running SeLinux.

I have created a Win7 Pro VM with 2GB RAM, and 50GB disk image.
The Win7 install is vanilla with all Microsoft updates installed.

I am accessing this system remotely via an OpenVPN tunnel from a
Macbook Pro running OS X 10.7.4 Lion and the latest version of
XQuartz xterms.  The mid-2009 Macbook Pro has 8GB RAM.

That said, my problem is that running the console of virt-manager
open to the Win7 VM with nothing but Internet Explorer on the
Win7 system, something causes X11 on my machine here to lose all
connection with the keyboard until I go to X11 in the top menu,
hide the X11 Windows, then display them again.  After doing that,
I have keyboard again for the 22+ xterms I have open, but the
virt-manager and its Virtual Machine window are blank and
unresponsive to any input short of 'xkill'.

I have restarted libvirtd manually, rebooted the system, and
this still occurs.

FWIW, The 'virt-who' service fails on startup with an entry in the
/var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log file saying No option 'consumercertdir' in
section: 'rhsm' in the /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf file.

Any clues to what is going on here?

Thanks

Bill

It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to
students that have had prior exposure to BASIC: as potential
programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of
regeneration.  -- Dijkstra
