If your domain is running, you get the config from the CURRENTLY RUNNING kvm
process, but it is saved for the NEXT start. Just shutdown your current
domain and restart it; rebooting from inside the domain (Ctrl-Alt-Del) is not
enough, since a new kvm process needs to be forked.

Perhaps you should switch over to the libvirt-ML.
