Issue description

As the title states, virtmanager needs dconf. Otherwise, a lot of quirks appear, as virtmanager heavily relies on dconf to store settings (like default connection to libvirt, vmviewer specific things like autoresize and so on).

Steps to reproduce

  • run an window manager / desktop environment which does not provide dconf
  • start virtmanager
  • add a default connection
  • restart virtmanager, see how the connection disappeared
