It is not working well for me.
1) I created a vm using a base xml, by running "virsh create vm.xml"
<domain type='kvm'>
<name>for-test</name>
<memory unit='KiB'>10240</memory>
<os>
<type>hvm</type>
<boot dev='hd'/>
</os>
</domain>
2) Access Kimchi interface and the new vm is displayed
3) Try to power it off. The dialog confirmation is displayed and when I
confirm the action an error is shown on top of page "The VM for-test
does not exist"
4) Then some a few seconds the VM is removed from Guests tab.
This case needs to be
handled outside of this patch, and occurs without
my patch. Power Off deletes the VM (hence this warning we're adding).
My assumption is that the UI needs to check that a VM exists again
before displaying updated stats about it (since this can happen).
