Sure, XML dump is below. When I start this guest, VNC is indeed 
listening on port 5900 and I can connect to it per hand.

xenhost:~# netstat -avpn | grep qemu-dm
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:5900          0.0.0.0:*

netstat: no support for `AF IPX' on this system.

But virt-manager seems to have problems with connecting to it:

It's a fresh installed Lenny host, so I'm quiet sure that I do not have 
a version mismatch here or so.

Cheers,
