Virt-manager and guest window stop reacting after some time-out

Hello, all.
After the very useful recommendation from Cole, I added the file
/etc/sysconfig/virtnetworkd with the line
VIRTNETWORKD_ARGS=
This really helped - the short breaks out of the problem stopped.
But yesterday I left my laptop at about 13:00 and returned today at
10:00 (times are approximate) - and again, my VM is not showing its
window.
Obviously, this is not such a big deal - restarting libvirtd once a
day is not a problem.
So, just for the information...:-)
