Description Jens Petersen 2008-07-01 00:06:27 UTC 
Description of problem:
If I install a guest under virt-manager and then delete it and install another
guest under the same name in virt-manager: the console for the new guest refuses
to appear.  Workaround is to quit virt-manager and start it again and voila.

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install a guest OS (call it "rawhide1")
2. later delete rawhide1 from virt-manager
3. try to reinstall "rawhide1" as a new guest
  
Actual results:
3. Press Finish in install setup does not bring up console window for rawhide1
 (I think it flashes up and then disappears.)  Pressing Finish again and a message
  appears saying it is already running.

Expected results:
3. new console to appear normally

Additional info:
It is annoying having to restart virt-manager for this.

I think this may be fixed in 0.6.1 or earlier.

Okay, this was filed against F9, but since it's fixed in rawhide and easy to work around, I'm closing the bug. Thanks Jens.
