You really want to solve this, using `jhbuild build dconf`.

Tracker not installed? Try `jhbuild run dbus-launch gnome-boxes` instead.

My guess would be that this is your main problem. IIRC this happens
when you have libvirt installed both in jhbuild and on the system and
(also IIRC) teuf told me that such setup works fine as long as you
install libvirt in jhbuild twice. So as first thing, see if `jhbuild
buildone libvirt` helps.

If SUSE doesn't have qemu with usb redirection, you want to pass
'--disable-usbredir' to Boxes' configure.
