Eduardo Lima (Etrunko) dcbb6929d0 Introduce ISO List dialog
The motivation for this dialog started with rhbz #1310624, where it was
reported that foreign menu was causing too many debug messages to be
printed to the console, because remote viewer had a timeout of 5 seconds
to refresh the ISO list automatically.

As a workaround, the timeout was adjusted for 5 minutes, but it could
cause more problems, such as inconsistencies between what was shown by
remote viewer and what the server had configured.

Another issue caused by displaying the ISO files as a menu item was that
if the list was too long, it would take all the available space on the
screen. In the end, a menu item was not the correct choice of UI
component for this use case.

In order to solve both problems, we now present the ISO list as a
dedicated dialog, where the refresh of ISO list is triggered manually by
the user and the list is contained within the dialog, by displaying de
files in a treeview.

  Virt Viewer
  ===========

Virt Viewer provides a graphical viewer for the guest OS
display. At this time is supports guest OS using the VNC
or SPICE protocols. Further protocols may be supported in
the future as user demand dictates. The viewer can connect
directly to both local and remotely hosted guest OS, optionally
using SSL/TLS encryption.

Virt Viewer is the GTK3 application. Virt Viewer 3.0 was
the last release that supported GTK2.

Virt Viewer uses the GTK-VNC (>= 0.4.0) widget to provide a
display of the VNC protocol, which is available from

  http://gtk-vnc.sourceforge.net/

Virt Viewer uses the SPICE-GTK (>= 0.30) widget to provide a
display of the SPICE protocol, which is available from:

  http://www.spice-space.org/download.html

Use of either SPICE-GTK or GTK-VNC can be disabled at time
of configure, with --without-gtk-vnc or --without-spice-gtk
respectively.

Virt Viewer uses libvirt to lookup information about the
guest OS display. This is available from

  http://libvirt.org/

Further information about the Virt Viewer application can be
found on the Virt Manager website:

  http://virt-manager.org/
