Bug Description
This is a common use case. I propose: "uvt-kvm ssh --wait ...", to incorporate a default wait first. A shortcut could be: "uvt-kvm ssh -w ...".
This would save having to retype the guest name and --insecure (as long at that remains) all the time.
This leads to a question: should the ssh subcommand also accept all options that the wait subcommand does? I'd say no, since this increases complexity and I'm not sure how useful it would be. Scripts that use them could just call wait and then ssh, and that wouldn't really be any extra effort from a human.

Some other ideas.
From Louis: uvt-kvm create --wait, to do the wait automatically.
Further ideas stemming from this: uvt-kvm create --login|-l, which will imply --wait and also ssh automatically.
