Description vladimir benes 2014-09-05 06:21:43 UTC 
when I rename box using the top panel button (not the label in prefs) I can see it renamed in overview but after restarting boxes it has the original name again

version:
3.13.91-1

reproducer:
1. create livecd box (I use core os as it has 9 MB)
2. go into preferences and use the top panel push button to rename it (from Core-5 to Renamed-6)
3. go back to overview (now the name is changed)
4. restart boxes 

-> name is back to Core-5

Just to be clear, this doesn't need to be a live, running or new VM.

    libvirt-machine-props: Ensure name change is saved
    
    The two different UI components (name property and toolbar title) that
    can be used to change the name of machine were using two different
    methods to do so and hence changing the name from toolbar title wasn't
    getting the name change saved.
    
    This patch unifies the method to change the name and ensures that change
    of name is saved.
