This comes out of a conversation between Wei and me.  For the record,
I think this is the right approach.

The existing behaviour, where "xl restore" might start a vncviewer if
the previously saved domain config had specified vncviewer=1, is IMO
insane (and I doubt intentional on anyone's part).

Thanks,
Ian.
