So why don't you use virt-manager?
The original intention was to run the host without any graphical desktop or anything not necessary to host the guests. That was based on reading and such which recommends not having anything beyond the necessary to minimize potential security problems and maximize resources available.
Then there were those pages which warn that virt-manager didn't work too well if bridged networking was required.
Last but not least, when I finally gave up and installed the desktop, virt-manager couldn't find the hypervisor. Checking up, it appears that the user needed additional permissions to certain files, which after given and tested via CLI, I still get errors.
Starting up X as root gave me this ominous warning that I really shouldn't be doing this and since I didn't think it was wise in the first place to have the desktop with root access running on what's supposed to be a production machine, I stopped trying that route and went back to figuring how to get virt-install to work.
I log in as root and setup KVM guest, set it to boot automatically and next login as root is only if something is wrong.
