Before you start this process check that you in fact have a DISPLAY set for your local environment:
 
> echo $DISPLAY
 
It's very easy when doing SSH to remote targets or doing lots of su and sudo games to lose your DISPLAY settings. And I've had problems starting vncviewer when virt-manager was already running.
