Thanks, Konrad. I've filed a ticket for this here:

https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-qa/ticket/263

if you or anyone else with an interest in Xen wants to take that one on,
it'd be great! Just draft up the test cases in the Wiki (your own
personal space in the Wiki is a good place to keep drafts - e.g.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Adamwill/Draft_QA_Testcase_install_alongside_Windows ) and then post a mail to the list asking people to review them.
