This is not true, libguestfs can actually read those properties. The
proof of that is running virt-inspector with --no-applications, and
--no-icon shows the proper details (such as product name, mount points,
host name, etc) of the guest.
I'm a bit confused by this comment - libguestfs inspection doesn't
know anything about apps and icons from *BSD as far as I can see.
This patch just (temporarily) makes it so that virt-inspection acts
like --no-applications --no-icon if it sees as *BSD guest, until we
think of a better way to do it.
