            :param subject: Event emitter (the qube object)
            :param event: Event name (``'domain-init'``)

        .. event:: domain-load (subject, event)

            Fired after the qube was loaded from :file:`qubes.xml`

        .. event:: domain-pre-start \

            :param event: Event name (``'domain-spawn'``)

            *other arguments are as in :py:meth:`start`*

        .. event:: domain-start (subject, event, preparing_dvm, start_guid)

            Fired at the end of :py:meth:`start` method.

            :param subject: Event emitter (the qube object)
            :param event: Event name (``'domain-start'``)

            *other arguments are as in :py:meth:`start`*

        .. event:: domain-pre-shutdown (subject, event, force)

            Fired at the beginning of :py:meth:`shutdown` method.

            :param subject: Event emitter (the qube object)
            :param event: Event name (``'domain-pre-shutdown'``)
            :param force: If the shutdown is to be forceful

        .. event:: domain-cmd-pre-run (subject, event, start_guid)

            Fired at the beginning of :py:meth:`run` method.

            :param subject: Event emitter (the qube object)
            :param event: Event name (``'domain-cmd-pre-run'``)
            :param start_guid: If the gui daemon can be started

        .. event:: domain-create-on-disk (subject, event)

            Fired at the end of :py:meth:`create_on_disk` method.

            :param subject: Event emitter (the qube object)
            :param event: Event name (``'domain-create-on-disk'``)

        .. event:: domain-remove-from-disk (subject, event)

            Fired at the beginning of :py:meth:`remove_from_disk` method, before
            the qube directory is removed.

            :param subject: Event emitter (the qube object)

        .. event:: domain-clone-files (subject, event, src)

            Fired at the end of :py:meth:`clone_disk_files` method.

            :param subject: Event emitter (the qube object)
            :param event: Event name (``'domain-clone-files'``)
            :param src: source qube

        .. event:: domain-verify-files (subject, event)

            Fired at the end of :py:meth:`clone_disk_files` method.

            :param subject: Event emitter (the qube object)
            :param event: Event name (``'domain-verify-files'``)

            If you think some files are missing or damaged, raise an exception.

        .. event:: domain-is-fully-usable (subject, event)

            Fired at the end of :py:meth:`clone_disk_files` method.

            :param subject: Event emitter (the qube object)
            :param event: Event name (``'domain-is-fully-usable'``)

            You may ``yield False`` from the handler if you think the qube is
            not fully usable. This will cause the domain to be in "transient"
            state in the domain lifecycle.

        .. event:: domain-qtb-create (subject, event)

            Fired at the end of :py:meth:`create_qdb_entries` method.

            :param subject: Event emitter (the qube object)
            :param event: Event name (``'domain-qtb-create'``)

            This event is a good place to add your custom entries to the qdb.

        .. event:: backup-get-files (subject, event)

            Collects additional file to be included in a backup.

            :param subject: Event emitter (the qube object)
            :param event: Event name (``'backup-get-files'``)

            Handlers should yield paths of the files.

        .. event:: domain-restore (subject, event)

            Domain was just restored from backup, although the storage was not
            yet verified and the app object was not yet saved.

            :param subject: Event emitter (the qube object)
            :param event: Event name (``'domain-restore'``)

        .. event:: domain-feature-set (subject, event, key, value)

            A feature was changed.

            :param subject: Event emitter (the qube object)
            :param event: Event name (``'domain-feature-set'``)
            :param key: feature name
            :param value: new value

        .. event:: domain-feature-delete (subject, event, key)

            A feature was removed.

            :param subject: Event emitter (the qube object)
            :param event: Event name (``'domain-feature-set'``)
            :param key: feature name

        .. event:: feature-request (subject, event, *, untrusted_features)

            The domain is performing a feature request.

            :param subject: Event emitter (the qube object)
            :param event: Event name (``'feature-request'``)
            :param untrusted_features: :py:class:`dict` containing the feature \
            request

            The content of the `untrusted_features` variable is, as the name
            implies, **UNTRUSTED**. The remind this to programmer, the variable
            name has to be exactly as provided.

            It is up to the extensions to decide, what to do with request,
            ranging from plainly ignoring the request to verbatim copy into
            :py:attr:`features` with only minimal sanitisation.

        .. event:: monitor-layout-change (subject, event, monitor_layout)

            Desktop layout was changed, probably because a display was plugged
            in or out.

            :param subject: Event emitter (the qube object)
            :param event: Event name (``'monitor-layout-change'``)
            :param monitor_layout: The new layout

        .. event:: firewall-changed (subject, event)

            Firewall was changed.

            :param subject: Event emitter (the qube object)
            :param event: Event name (``'firewall-changed'``)

        .. event:: net-domain-connect (subject, event, vm)

            Fired after connecting a domiain to this vm.

            :param subject: Event emitter (the qube object)
            :param event: Event name (``'net-domain-connect'``)
            :param vm: The domain that was just connected.

            On the `vm` object there was probably ``property-set:netvm`` fired
            earlier.

        ``'Dying'``     Machine crashed and is unusable.
        ``'Crashed'``   Machine crashed and is unusable, probably because of
