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.
