When connecting to a VM that does not have a 'listen' tag in its
graphcs element, we have to guess where to try to connect to the VM's
display.  The current default is the host specified in the connection
URI which is correct for most transports, however, the SSH transport
makes the display connection from the remote end, so in that case,
attempt to connect to localhost.
