Issue description

For a few days (maybe 2 weeks or so), virtmanager refuses to start.

Starting from Kicker the icons shows up for a short while, then disappears.

Starting from the terminal I get this feedback:

virt-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/nix/store/4kl3dca1vrci6hhipnn1l699k662szbv-virt-manager-1.4.3/share/virt-manager/virt-manager", line 32, in <module>
    gi.require_version('LibvirtGLib', '1.0')
  File "/nix/store/p6fnhmmvr28ziv19c37hr9n6vkcy25an-python2.7-pygobject-3.26.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 130, in require_version
    raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace LibvirtGLib not available

Steps to reproduce

Use Nixos Unstable and add virtmanager to the list of system installed packages.
