so there are discovery mechanisms (zeroconf, e.g.) and hosts, correct? given 
discovery mechs d1, d2 and d3 and hosts h1..h6, the DataEngine looks something 
like this:

d1
	hosts  = h1, h2
d2
	hosts = h4, h5
d3
	hosts = h6, h7
h1
	address =
	type =
	mac =
	name =
	isUp =
h2
	address =
	type =
	mac =
	name =
	isUp =
h3
	address =
	type =
	mac =
	name =
	isUp =
h4
	address =
	type =
	mac =
	name =
	isUp =
h5
	address =
	type =
	mac =
	name =
	isUp =
h6
	address =
	type =
	mac =
	name =
	isUp =


is there any reason not just just skip the d1, d2 and d3 sources and just list 
the hosts directly? does the visualiation need to list "all hosts that were 
found using libvirt" such that it warrants the above structure?

to me, it would seem more natural to just list the hosts and the visualization 
can initially iterate over all sources() and then connect to the sourceAdded 
and sourceRemoved signals to be notified when hosts come and go.

that would resolve your issue fairly neatly?
