PATCH 1/1 virt: Add the parameter --vnclisten to the virt-install command

Hi,

My colleague happened to find that when installing a Guest, we cannot access to it by VNC because of the missing parameter "--vnclisten=0.0.0.0" in virt-install.

Here is the patch, please comment! :)

Strange, I can access the guests using VNC just fine. I wonder why that is happening to you guys...

Hi~

Here is the problem:)

Without "vnclisten", guest is still accessable from localhost by vnc. But we cannot access guest from other host.

And most of the time, we do the test on remote host, and in this situation, "vnclisten" is very useful.:)

Ok, fair enough, applied, thanks!
