virt-manager relies on virDomainGetID returning -1 in the case when a domain is inactive. On further investigation it turns out that virDomainGetID and virDomainGetName can never fail**, since all they do is read fields from the domain pointer that you pass. It was also claimed that virDomainGetUUID was also error-free, but that's actually not the case.
So this patch disables exceptions in those two functions only. Note that the documentation for virDomainGetID is wrong.Thanks to Hugh Brock and Dan Berrange for finding and diagnosing the problem.
Rich.* Not tested: for me virt-manager fails for another reason, with or without this patch.
** Well, they can fail in the case where you've corrupted memory and your virDomainPtr isn't really a virDomainPtr, but at that point all bets are off anyway ...
