I installed a new f9 domU with virt-isntall and from within the domU I issued a 'shutdown -h now'. Virt-manager still shows it as running, but 'virsh list --all' shows it as 'no state'. Virsh console can't find it.

 # virsh console f9test
 libvir: Xen Daemon error : GET operation failed:
 libvir: Xen Daemon error : failed Xen syscall xenDaemonDomainDumpXMLByID failed to find this domain 0

I right clicked in virt-manager and selected shutdown. Nothing happend.

 # virsh shutdown f9test
 libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: (xend.err 'Domain cannot be shutdown')
 Domain f9test is being shutdown

 # virsh destroy f9test
 libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: (xend.err "(3, 'No such process')")
 libvir: Xen error : failed Xen syscall  ioctl  3166208
 error: Failed to destroy domain f9test

So, I started another pre-existing f9 domU in the virt-manager gui. Came up OK. Shut it down via the virt-manager gui and it behaves the same as the other test. Says 'running' in virt-manager and virsh says:

 # virsh console fedora95
 libvir: Xen Daemon error : GET operation failed:
 libvir: Xen Daemon error : failed Xen syscall xenDaemonDomainDumpXMLByID failed to find this domain 0

So, I restarted xend and now virt-manager shows the correct states and virsh
list shows 'shut off' state. I'm on libvirt-0.4.2-1.fc8 and see there is an
update. I'll test some more later and also try to confirm this is different
from f8 domU behavior.
