It shouldn't be neccessary to explicitly connect to the local machine - if 
you have no existing host connections remembered in gconf, it will try to 
automatically add a connection to the local Xen or KVM instance.  Yes, the
'new VM' icon has proved to be a little too subtle for many people, so 
we'll likely revise that bit of UI to make it more obvious in an update.
