  Why not, but in that case we should be consistent and do the same
for vncdisplay :

paphio:~ -> virsh vncdisplay rhel5

paphio:~ -> echo $?
1
paphio:~ -> 

  I must admit I'm not suggesting one or the other, the vncdisplay
status-quo didn't seems to bother anybody. It's trivial and I have no
preference, opinion welcome :-)
