Actually, I've just found out this doesn't work. I've finally got around to creating a menu entry in Ubuntu which reads: "gksu virt-manager --connect Xen" and when selected, it does bypass the selection dialog and go straight to the list of virtual machines. However, when I try and start my Windows XP virtual machine, nothing happens! I eventually tried running "virt-manager --connect Xen" directly and got the following message on the console: "libvir: Domain error winxp: operation virDomainCreate forbidden for read only access". However, if I I just execute "virt-manager" and select "Local host" and hit "Connect", then I can start the VMs fine. The only conclusion I can come to is that if you specify "--connect Xen" on the command line for virt-manager that it behaves the same as if you tick the "Read only" checkbox in the "Open Connection" dialog. Am I right in thinking this is a bug? FWIW, I'm using the latest versions of everything: libvirt 0.2.0, virtinst-0.101.0 and virt-manager 0.3.1. Many thanks, Mark.
