"restore saved machine" is to restore machine which is saved using
Virtual Machine -> save, not to start vms which are shut down.
As of now, virt-manager is only capable of managing active/running vms.
Managing inactive domains using virt-manager is something for future...
You sould use "xm crate <config file name>" to boot a machine.
libvirt in FC6 does now have support for starting & listing inactive
domains. You can list them with
virsh list --all or virsh list --inactive
Start them with
virsh start <name|uuid>
Delete an inactive config with
virsh undefine <name|uuid>
And finally create a new inactive domain from an XML description
virsh define <xml file>
Once its had more tsting I'll push out an update virt-manager which can
managed them too - this is already in F7 rawhide.
