There's two things in this are we'd like to do

 - Full guest cloning (aka GUI for virt-clone). I believe that Cole has
   got some UI designs for this being finalized, so hopefully get this in
   the not too distant future
 - Snapshotting. For this we want to improve the API coverage in libvirt
   so we can more easily track the fact that some 'save' images may be
   snapshots
