Why are we using a save button for each tab in that dialog? That's 
definitely not a common user experience. One would expect that a "Save" 
button in that dialog would apply all changes done in the dialog, not on 
that tab alone. What if the user wants to change the VM name and 
permission (and the password, after the next patch)? They will need to 
open the "Edit Guest" dialog, changing the value they want to change, 
and then saving that value alone. /Three times./ That's not a good flow.

IMO, we should have only one "Save" button which, when clicked, applies 
all the changes done in that dialog. Not a button which does different 
things depending on which tab the user is on.
