As I said this is the first iteration just to get the UI up and

Once people have played around with it, I fully expect some UI
tweaks to
improve the user experiance.
Some suggestions:
- It'd be really nice not to have the connect dialog when you start
up virt-manager - e.g. think of a first time user who selects
"Virtual Machine Manager" from the menus and is then asked about
"Open a connection" ... that's fairly intimidating
Agreed.
- Perhaps by default connect to Xen if run as root, and connect to
QEMU when run as non-root
Or perhaps even connect with name = NULL following our earlier
suggestion to make this "do something sensible" :-?
- I think I'd only use the "Connect to" concept with remote
management - connecting to a remote machine is a well understood
concept, but connecting to a hypervisor is a little weird. Perhaps
"Manage Xen guests" vs. Manage QEMU guests" as above
What's the general plan for being able to manage both through the
same virt-manager interface? [1]
Rich.
[1] I'm obviously still not able to run any of this stuff on any
machine I have, so apologies if this is a dumb question.
