[virt-tools-list] [PATCH] Edit description immediately without a shutdown

[Marcus Karlsson]

Editing the description of a running guest will show a dialog that
changes will take effect after the next guest shutdown. However, libvirt
can change the description of a guest while it is running.

Teach virt-manager to edit the description of a running guest without
requiring a shutdown.
