Our KVM servers are remote and do not have X installed.

When we install a guest, we tell it to use vnc
by adding --vnc --noautoconsole to the virt-install
command.

Then use virsh vncdisplay to get the port on the server
to connect your VNC viewer. We use an SSH tunnel
for the connection to ensure security.
