Global product 'help' and 'about' should be visible all the time at the 
header.
Design should be changed as below and move 'help' and 'about' content 
below help menu.

For current kimchi security model design,
root users on behalf of console administrator, they are responsible for
     1. host setup for virtualization infrastructure and console 
administration
     2. virtualization resources setup

I think this process should be streamlined for better user experience.
I recommend to make "chown qemu" transparent with kimchi to handle it 
automatically.
