Assumably the network is 'off' for a reason, so if the user doesn't know any better, I'd rather not just turn it on without their potentially knowing. I think the problem here is that it isn't made clear in the drop down whether a virtual network is running or not. If we listed all the nets, but prevented the inactive ones from being selected (kind of like unbridged nics are presented) hopefully the user would get the point that they need to explicitly enable the network to use it. We could even allow selecting the inactive network and then prompt to start it. virt-manager 0.6.0 also allows setting the network's autostart value from the gui, so if the network being inactive was simply an oversight, the user can change it easily.
