Yet another question. I am using the virt-manager GUI. When I begin to define a new guest and attempt to "browse" to specify where the iso image file is, the GUI dialog brings me up in my home directory. But, almost everything associated with libvirt is done as the root user. By default, why isn't the initial directory "/var/lib/libvirt/images"?
