[fedora-virt] virt-manager and manually created bridges

My home-server is running rawhide. To get some virtual machines working
on it I did:

 * disable Networkmanager
 * setup a br0-Device that includes eth0
 * disable the libvirt default network virbr0 using virsh net-autostart
     default --disable

When I now try to install a new vm using virt-manager this fails:

I'm asked (under advanced options) to choose a network - the only
network available ist the (deactivated) virbr0 network. When I then try
to proceed anyway I am told that the virbr0 is inactive and would I like
to start it. Choosing no doesn't allow me to finish the installation
wizard.

When I edit an xml definition manually to add the br0-Bridge as network
device things work fine.

Shouldn't this be possible from within virt-manager?
