If libvirt was built against inotify, but an API user isn't using domain events (virsh, virt-manager), the xen xm driver doesn't poll /etc/xen for new config files. This means that domains created or deleted on other libvirt connections aren't reflected in the original connection (but they will show up for all newly opened connections). This causes newly created VMs to disappear from virt-manager < 0.8.0 once they are shutdown, since VMs were installed on a separate connection.
The attached patch refreshes /etc/xen in all cases, unless inotify was successfully initialized (user is using domain events).
Yeah, this is a serious bug and I prefer to push the fix, even if it's a bit large most of it is refactoring. So apply and commited, thanks for chasing the issue !
