AFAIK the main thing is to make sure that the domU will be using the
new config when it's started.

You raise a good point though. If the domU still shows on "xm list"
after it's shutdown beause it's managed by xend (like what happens if
you create it with "xm new", or if you set it up using newer versions
of virt-install/virt-manager), then it's still using the old config.
You need to delete it first ("xm delete"). That would not be a problem
if you only use old-style domU config (like with RHEL/Centos5 and it's
bundled version of Xen).
