If the clipboard file doesn't exist (and it doesn't at system startup),
pyinotify will output an error to stderr. This situation is already
handled by also monitoring the directory itself for CREATE event. But
prevent error message.
non-GUI thread can't open new window in PyQt. So as a band aid print the
message to stderr in such case.
And while at it, fix filename in error message (it was clobbered later
while constructing stack trace).

This was broken since 8a91c90 "Fix block attach/detach", which changed
rows_with_blk list to contain VM qid, not name. One place was left not
updated.
Additionally document VmRowInTable.update parameters, as some of them
may be not obvious (blk_visible=None).

xterm closes itself immediatelly when the specified command ends, so
wait for user reaction to give a chance to read the message (potentially
some error info). Also add some more meaningful window title.

The "default NetVM" is usually the first created ProxyVM which is
set by qubes-core during its creation. [1] If there is no ProxyVM,
there is no "default NetVM". Therefore, creating an AppVM and
launching its settings dialog raised AttributeError, because
get_default_netvm method returned None.
This can be reproduced by installing QubesOS without creating VMs
by installer.

Qubes manager used different logic what it considers as "running VM",
than qubes core.
Here it was "running or starting/stopping", while qubes core uses the
same as libvirt (isActive()), which effectively means "not halted" -
which includes also "paused" and "suspended". This creates a lot
confusion in which action should be available when.
The actual detected bug was about resuming paused VM. There was assert
"not vm.is_running()", while the paused VM _is_ running in terms of
qubes core.

QubesVmCollection is not thread safe. If for example update_table() will
be called during some long-running task (like creating or removing VM),
it will try to reload qubes.xml (so get read lock first), but the thread
already holds a lock on this file. This would result in "Lock already
taken" exception.

QubesVm object caches some domain state (domain ID in libvirt object,
Qubes DB connection socket), which can become out of date in
case of start/stop events. Currently it needs manual trigger to refresh
itself.
This reverts commit 227597cf93.
QubesWatch no longer supports xenstore, so there is no simple way to
get this column updated. This is conscious decision in process of making
R3 Xen-independent.

Those changes will take effect after VM restart (at least for VM windows
borders), so to not confuse the user with partly updated colors, simply
block the change while the VM is running. The same applies to VM name.
Check init_mem and max_mem_size in a single function (merging the
previous two) taking into account the minimum init memory that allows
the requested maximum memory.
Explanation:
Linux kernel needs space for memory-related structures created at boot.
If init_mem is just 400MB, then max_mem can't balloon above 4.3GB (at
which poing it yields "add_memory() failed: -17" messages and apps
crash), regardless of the max_mem_size value.
Base of Marek's findings and my tests on a 16GB PC, using several
processes like:
stress -m 1 --vm-bytes 1g --vm-hang 100
result in the following points:
init_mem ==> actual max memory
400 4300
700 7554
800 8635
1024 11051
1200 12954
1300 14038
1500 14045 <== probably capped on my 16GB system
The actual ratio of max_mem_size/init_mem is surprisingly constant at
10.79
If less init memory is set than that ratio allows, then the set
max_mem_size is unreachable and the VM becomes unstable (app crashes)
