Bug Description

sudo apt install gnome-boxes
Create 2 Virtual Machines ("boxes"), one for 2 different Ubuntu flavors
Power off all Virtual Machines and close the app

Open the Boxes app

What Happens
============
After a few seconds, all the boxes start. They'll keep running even when the app is closed unless you explicitly right click on them and select Force Shutdown.

Right-click on the box and select Properties. Switch to the System tab. Confirm that "Run in background" is turned off.

What Should Happen
==================
Apparently the Boxes are to be paused automatically except when clicked on and focused

I reported this to GNOME. It seems to be fixed in Fedora 24 when they updated to qemu 2.6.2 this week.
