@Peter:

I wouldn't it understand the dialog as tunneling an ISO image over SSH
but browsing the server's filesystem and chose the ISO image there. I
have installed a WindowsXP virtual machine on my computer at university.
Now I'm at home and wanted to install Office 2007 with the ISO image
that's on a raid5 on the server.

The expected behaviour of the "Choose a CD source device" would be, that
I can browse the servers local filesystem, choose an image and click ok
to have it mouted to the virtual machine. VMWare server does it
*exactly* this way. You can use the client software (called console) to
manage a remote VM on a server and you can mount whatever image you want
any time.

This is definetely a bug. Virt-Manager should always browse the
filesystem of the system running the virtual machine and not simply the
local machine.
