+gnome-boxes is a simple GNOME application to access virtual machines.
+
+Important Note:
+gnome-boxes is a graphical front end for qemu/libvirt. You will need to
+install 'qemu' in order to make use of gnome-boxes. There is a qemu
+build available on slackbuilds.org. Please install *all* of the
+optional dependencies listed for qemu for proper compatibility with
+gnome-boxes.
+
+gnome-boxes can be built and run without qemu, but you will not be able
+to run any virtual machines from gnome-boxes until qemu is installed.
