Hmm, I tested this patch for inclusion in Ubuntu.  It seems to work (-name foo).

However, it seems to either break, or expose a bug in libvirt:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 493, in run_domain
    vm.startup()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 558, in startup
    self.vm.create()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 293, in create
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: internal error unable to start guest: /usr/bin/kvm:
invalid option -- '-domid'

I haven't quite made sense of this yet...  -domid is not a valid
parameter in kvm, sure.  However, when launching VM's in virt-manager
with this patch, this is the behavior I'm seeing...
