Bug Description
Binary package hint: virt-manager
After creating a new virtual machine, there was no cd-rom attached (I filed another bug since I specified an .ISO during VM creation). Since the HDD was empty, the system was unable to boot. Well enough so far.
Realizing that it didn't see the ISO, I tried to stop the VM so that I could manually add a new CD-ROM device. I clicked shutdown repeatedly, but nothing happened. I clicked pause, and the VM was paused sucessfully. Then I clicked shutdown. Still nothing. I resumed the machine, it continued to run. I tried shutdown again, still nothing.
I have this same problem on all my virtual machines. Shutdown basically doesn't work.
In fact, virt-manager with kvm basically doesn't work. Since ubuntu-xen-desktop is not installable and virtual-box-ose doesn't run 64-bit clients, kvm was my last open-source recourse. Apparently virtualization in 8.04 x86_64 is completely broken.

Could you please try to use "Destroy" instead of "shutdown". The
default behavior is for shutdown to send an ACPI event to the machine so
that it gracefully shutdowns. In your case, I beleive that the vm was
not in a state that would have allowed it to be answering to such event
and "Destroy" is what you needed to stop your vm.
