Are dots allowed in VM names?

[svenssonaxel]

Qubes OS version: R3.2

---

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. In dom0, execute qvm-create --label red example.1
2. In Qubes VM Manager, click VM, Create new VM, type "example.2" as VM name and click OK.

Expected behavior:

3. Both, OR none, of VMs "example.1" and "example.2" are created.

Actual behavior:

3. VM "example.1" is created, but the VM created through the manager is named "example2" rather than "example.2".

General notes:

The input box for VM name does not accept the dot character.
If dots are allowed in VM names then it should be possible to type a dot in this input field.
If dots are not allowed in VM names then qvm-create should not accept names that include dots.
