Hi Dan,

Yes that was it - thanks very much for your help! I searched the FAQ and
man pages and couldn't find any reference to this, although a google on
"xm new" did show a similar thread on xen-users. 

Another quick couple of questions: firstly is there a way to bypass
"Open Connection" dialog on startup so that it assumes that the default
"Local Xen Host" is selected? I can see the -C option for a URI but
can't see a way to specify the equivalent of "Local Xen Host" on the
command line?

Secondly, I'm using a HVM WinXP installation and I appear to be
suffering badly from the misaligned mouse pointer problem as mentioned
in the virt-manager FAQ. Are there any updates from the Xen team as to
when this is likely to be fixed?


Many thanks,

Mark.
