Yes, I've been meaning to put an option to "Don't show this again" in that
dialog for a while now.

Boot device and autostart are the probably the only changes we could safely do
without the user explicitly hitting apply. Only downside is that it would be
inconsistent with the rest of the screens. I'm not opposed to the idea if
someone wanted to implement it.

Filing bugs for these (http://virt-manager.org/page/BugReporting) would be
helpful.
