Well, not sure what you mean. Does the VM not run in a window?!

I'm pretty sure that in the past like until 1-2 years ago always a 
window opened up in which the VM (actually the OS I wanted to run in a 
VM) was running (for example with the boot menu from an install.iso). 

In this window I could with 'Ctrl+1' or 'Ctrl+2' switch between the 
running VM and the qemu console (there was also 'Ctrl+3' but I don't 
remember whatfor). I can't remember to have used any virtmanager 
software. I only used the command above and a window would open with 
the running VM.

I'm a bit puzzled because I never had to use any of these…
