The window shouldn't have disappeared like that - it should have told
you that this isn't supported....

We can't support save/restore of  KVM guests in virt-manager at this
time. QEMU 0.9.0 was really very unhelpful and removed the ability specify
a filename for saving VM state, assuming that everyone happens to be using
a qcow file :-( Not much use if you are using raw files, or physical volumes,
or LVM which are the primary storage types used in virt-manager currently.
