Failed to start any VM after suspend (tested on xfce)

Qubes Manager show icon with following error: Error starting vm internal error: libxenlight failed to create new domain

Log file: libvchen_is_eof

It's only show error icon per vm and need to hover to get the error. Why not to add this errors to log?

(The issue reported above is #2153. This issue is just about logging VM state messages.)

It's not clear to me what this issue is actually asking. Is it only requesting to have some viewable backlog of messages generated in dom0 about VMs? Or of actual messages generated from within VMs themselves?

2)Message like (when VPN connect, [...]) appear only one time, then disappear

seems to suggest the latter, which would require some interposing and forwarding of dbus notification mechanism in a guest agent, which makes this related to (possibly dependent on) https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/889

Perhaps @evadogstar can provide further rationale.
