Actually I think that destination needs to be /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm, not
qemu-system-ia64. And looking at the rhel5 code, this can also be
/usr/bin/qemu-kvm

Hmm, looks like set_level_indentation isn't supported on RHEL5. Strange though
since I've had other reports of people using latest virt-manager on RHEL5.
I'll take a look
