Great - glad its working well for you !

You need to explicitly tell virsh to connect to QEMU/KVM since it
defaults to Xen.
virsh --connect qemu:///system
Can you please edit the man page of virsh and put on some e.g --connect strings over there. I know there are not too much like only kvm and xen are there but that is usually the first place everyone looks for before going somewhere else.
Or
export VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI=qemu:///system
virsh

We've not hooked up autostart to the virt-manager UI yet, in the meantime
you can use virsh like this:
virsh autostart [vm name]
Th VM will be started by the libvirt daemon at boot time.
