It would be better to have that abstracted by virt-bootstrap. We could have virt-bootstrap --list providing
the list of images so that virt-manager (or the user) doesn't have to care about the images sources (skopeo
may not be the only one).

Then we could have a list of URIs for the users to pick up, but no need for 2 combo boxes.
