virt-manager doesn't store persistent XML configs itself. The storage
mechanism is specific to the underlying hypervisor it is talking to.

The recommended approach to changing the config is to dump the existing
XML config toa file, edit it as desired, and then re-define it again.
eg

   virsh dumpxml VMNAME > VMNAME.xml
   vi  VMNAME.xml  (or emacs, or whatever)
   virsh define VMNAME.xml

The next version of libvirt will include a convenient 'virsh edit'
command which implements these 3 steps in one go.

Regards,
Daniel
