Bug Description
virt-manager has a handy little systray widget, and an option (which seems to default off) in the preferences to enable it.
If you "quit" the main application window, the systray widget stays, and can be used to send basic commands to VMs, or re-open the main screen.
There are also startup command-line options to jump directly to various parts / functions in the app.
What I'd like is:
- an option to make the app start as a systray widget only, via either/both of a preference option and a command-line flag
- an option to register the app start automatically on login, in this mode.
For an example of what's wanted, see remmina. The two work nicely together, since RDP is a nicer way to access windows VM's in particular.
