Technically speaking, all settings stuff go to /etc and the xml files 
would probably be considered settings for the virtual machines.

I would suggest look into the virsh interactive command line to manage 
your virtual machines. Its way more efficient compared to the gui. To 
open one, try `virsh --connect qemu:///system'. You can see all the 
commands with `help' and more specifics about every commands with `help 
<command>'.
