Hello

I am testing the new "restart" feature in the Qubes VM Manager and noticing that it is a bit buggy. There is one piece of the puzzle however that I can not figure out allowing me to replicate it consistently or narrow down why it fail some times

The first time I select a VM and press "restart" after an indeterminate time frame the restart will fail with the error below. If I try and restart any number of other vm immediately after they will all restart ok.

error:

  ---
  line: assert not vm.is_running() 
  func: start_vm
  line no.: 1158
  file: /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/qubesmanager/main.py

  line: self.caller.start_vm(vm)

Some unscientific testing.

Trying a restart after 15 minutes of not doing a restart and the function works as expected

Trying a restart after 50 minutes of not doing a restart and the function fails the first time with the error as mentioned previously.
