libvirt in FC6 does now have support for starting & listing inactive
domains. You can list them with
virsh list --all or virsh list --inactive
Start them with
virsh start <name|uuid>
Delete an inactive config with
virsh undefine <name|uuid>
And finally create a new inactive domain from an XML description
virsh define <xml file>
Once its had more tsting I'll push out an update virt-manager which can
managed them too - this is already in F7 rawhide.
