Last month you had brought up the idea of a unified api call to 
lookup all domains, with a flag option to filter the lookup by
domain state:

This is something that would be nice to have for virt-manager and
any management apps built on libvirt, since this will hopefully
cut down on communication bandwidth if we are managing multiple
remote connections + vms. I'll add that to the wiki later today.

Thanks,
