[virt-tools-list] [PATCH] virt-manager: Don't allow an empty string for a network name

[Charles Arnold]

When starting the 'Create virtual network' wizard, you are allowed to proceed
without specifying a Network Name.  An error only occurs after all else is
completed with the wizard. This patch stops the user from proceeding if a
network name has not been specified.

The check for an empty string is done in util.py which also effects storage
pool names and guest names neither of which should have empty strings.
