I've just pushed out another snapshot of the Virtual Machine Manager GUI
application for managing Xen machines via libvirt.
A summary of the changes in this 0.1.5 release[1]:
* Integration with GNOME keyring for the VNC console to avoid
need to remember passwords when accessing the guest domain's
console
* Use cairo to render a '50% alpha gray wash' over the screenshot
to give appearance of a 'dimmed' display when paused. Also render
the word 'paused' in big letters.
* Initial cut of code for saving & restoring domain snapshots to disk
* Added icons for buttons which were missing graphics
* Miscellaneous RPM spec file fixes to comply with rpmlint
* Update status icons to match those in the gnome-applet-vm
* Added domain ID and # VCPUs to summary view
* Misc bug fixes
The next priority target for development is some UI for creating new
VM instances (a GUI equivalent of xenguest-install.py script shipping
with current Fedora Xen packages) and implenenting the UI for editing
domain configuration / hardware.
In addition there is now a more permanent home for the application's
web pages:
http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/index.html
And the Mercurial repository is now published for anonymous read-only
access at:
http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virt-manager--devel
Patches are welcome either as traditional unified diffs, or as mercurial
changeset bundles - see the following page for details on exporting bundles
using hg:

Regards,
Dan.
[1] There was a 0.1.4 but it had a fatal flaw in it breaking the console
