libvirt users - Dec 2011 - libvirt and LXC

Hi there,
I'm fairly new to libvirt and LXC, please forgive my ignorance.
I was looking for a graphical tool to manage LXC containers and noticed 
that libvirt has support for LXC.
Actually, I expected libvirt to be able to display and manage LXC hosts 
much like KVM. But it does not happen this way. The only thing I can see 
with virsh/virt-manager is storage pool with LXC containers, but not 
much else. No information on running/stopped containers or networking.

libvirt is 0.9.7 on both LXC server and client I use to connect to the 
server. I use lxc+ssh for connection.
Am I missing something obvious here? Some configuration file? libvirt 
documentation does not mention any.
Kind regards,
Ivars

virt-manager is able to manage LXC to some degree, you just need to
make sure you tell virt-manager to connect to LXC instead of KVM.
