Sure enough, that worked, I have a duplicate of Centos7 in the VM on 
this box10 in the VM in box7 now. I think I did as you suggested but in 
the end I told it to import the Centos7.qcow2 file, it churned slowly 
and gradually produced an exact copy, hopefully it will all work on a 
reboot ...

That file was huge, I didn't check the size and just sent it to my NFS 
server before sending it to box7, 10+ gigs, it took time but I've got my 
XFCE4 desktop configured as I want it, no fuss no muss!

Another hurdle overcome, thanks to all,

Bob
