Previously we made all the default encoding non-permanent by XML objects before generating the XML, making changes to the copies, and restoring to the old state after the XML is returned to the user. This allows us to call start_install multiple times with the same Guest object and not alter it's original config... but that feature isn't really useful anymore, and this behavior makes the 'customize before install' dialog difficult to handle. So drop most of it, and fix some of the minor fallout.
Virtual Machine Manager ======================= This application provides a graphical tool for managing virtual machines via the libvirt library. The front end of the application uses the GTK / Glade libraries for all user interaction components. The back end uses libvirt for managing Qemu/KVM and Xen virtual machines, as well as LXC containers. The UI is primarily tested with KVM, but is intended to be reasonably portable to any virtualization backend libvirt supports. Pre-requisite software ====================== virt-manager was ported to GTK3 at the beginning of 2013. Older GTK3 or pygobject3 versions likely will not work for running virt-manager. Earliest tested versions of major components: python >= 2.6 gtk3 >= 3.6 libvirt-python >= 0.4.0 pygobject3 >= 3.4 libosinfo >= 0.2.10 A more detailed dependency list can be found in virt-manager.spec.in. On Debian based distributions you need to install the gobject-introspection bindings for some depedencies like libvirt-glib and libosinfo. Look for package names that start with 'gir'.
