"restore saved machine" is to restore machine which is saved using 
Virtual Machine -> save, not to start vms which are shut down.
As of now, virt-manager is only capable of managing active/running vms. 
Managing inactive domains using virt-manager is something for future... 
You sould use "xm crate <config file name>" to boot a machine.
