Ok, my bad. I should read more carefully and so on.
I confirm this looks like a bug. I too couldn't figure out how to detach
disk resp. unmount ISO (with or without wiki help).
I've tried to get more info out of virt-manager, however I've given up
after moment, because it seems they're shifting XML rather than using
visrh commands.

Have a nice day,
