+Virt-inspector is sometimes able to extract an icon or logo for the
+guest. The icon is returned as base64-encoded PNG data. Note that
+the icon can be very large and high quality.

+
+To display the icon, you have to extract it and convert the base64
+data back to a binary file. Use an XPath query or simply an editor to
+extract the data, then use the coreutils L<base64(1)> program to do
+the conversion back to a PNG file:
+
+ base64 -i -d < icon.data > icon.png
