+I'm using KVM for a windows 7 vm and I just tried to use gnome-boxes to create,
+I guess, a vm for a drbl live cd and it created it but when I launch it the app
+just shows a black screen and doesn't do anything.
+
+There's not much documentation so I'm not sure exactly what's supposed to happen
+versus what is happening.
+
+I'll be happy to do some more testing if you can give me some pointers as to
+what I'm looking for.
