This belongs to Gentoo bugzilla, because upstream is not handling
gentoo ebuilds.  Well, it _would_ belong if it was a bug.  Anyway,
this is pretty simple, so I'll help you with this one ;)

If you look at the ebuild, there are these lines at the end:

pkg_preinst() {
    if use gtk; then
        ...
    else
        rm -rf "${ED}/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager"
        rm -f "${ED}/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager"
        rm -rf "${ED}/usr/share/virt-manager/ui/"
        rm -rf "${ED}/usr/share/virt-manager/icons/"
        rm -rf "${ED}/usr/share/man/man1/virt-manager.1*"
        rm -rf "${ED}/usr/share/icons/"
        rm -rf "${ED}/usr/share/applications/virt-manager.desktop"
        rm -rf "${ED}/usr/bin/virt-manager"
    fi
}

If that doesn't help you, then another hint is that you need to enable
the "gtk" use flag in order to have the GUI tool (and not just the
other tools) installed.

Have a nice day,
Martin
