You should never modify/update/create files under the /etc/libvirt/qemu
directory.  The correct way to do this is virsh dumpxml $domain > $domain.xml
and virsh define $domain.xml.

Debug log from virt-manager (virt-manager --debug) would be helpful.  Btw: you
don't need to forwar X to your client, you can install virt-manager/virt-viewer
directly on your client station and add ssh connection.

Is there anything else that you've changed, for example vnc_listen or
spice_listen in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf?
