cap = capacity size
alloc = allocation size
So to have a non-sparse image, "alloc" should have the same value as "cap".
But in the current version of virtinst, the line "alloc = cap" is commented
out and replaced by "alloc = 0", so the behaviour is the same as an sparse
image file, but I don't know the reason of this (I don't understand the
comment)...
If I put "alloc = cap" back, the non-sparse image file is correctly created
when "Allocate entire virtual disk now?" is checked, but I get the following
error message at the end of the VM creation wizard :
Impossible de finir l'installation : « Couldn't create storage
volume 'test.img': 'unknown procedure (received 6, expected 5d)' »

I suppose the image creation method is different in the storage pool manager
because it works great.
