Hi Henning,
currently virt-manager does not offer a 'Start' option for VMs .
virt-manager will provide full life-cycle support over time ,
including 'start' of VMs
in a future release of virt-manager .
Right now you'll have to start a VM manually using "xm create (-c)
VMname" .
The "restore" option in virt-manager is part of the save/restore
capabilities
in virt-manager/Xen . Save/Restore allows you to save/snapshot a VM's
memory footprint onto disk and 'restore/restart' the VM from this
snapshot
in the future.
Hth,

Hi,
Somehow I'd expect such a nice graphical tool as virt.manager, that,
if I can install, (and start the installed machine directly after
install), stop, restore, and do all the other nice things with a xen
vm, I must also be able to simply start a vm for which I have a config
lying around.
But I see nowhere any "start a vm" option. The only thing that is
there is a "restore vm" option, but when I chose a normal vm config
file, it always says "error restring domain - is the domain already
running".
I assume, this function is really only for domains that I saved (not
the same as opposed to shut down, at leat in xen terminology).
Is that right? Am I right that virt.manager has no functionality to
simply start a vm with it's config file, and I must do this manually?
