It looks like a domain (and likely anything else that has a 'name')
whose name contains a ';' or spaces is unaccessible from virsh unless
one finds out the uuid ,which only root can do(?). Probably this is only
a problem when using virsh, but maybe the user should be given the
choice to delete the VM (in that special case) or at least also display
its uuid upon 'virsh define/create' so he has a chance to actually
use/delete it.
