Unfortunately its not available yet. We're working on secure support
for it in libvirt.

Ordinarily virt-manager connects to /var/lib/xend/xend-socket, and I
don't think SSH can forward UNIX sockets easily. Turning on the HTTP
socket in XenD is one option, but its a security hole because XenD
has no authentication on its HTTP sockets.
