hi all,

i have been reading the KVM guide at [1] to setup a WinXP virtual
machine, had a tough time figuring exactly what needed to be done for
9.04, but i finally got it installed and it's running really fast.

one of the things i had trouble figuring out was how to use virsh to
manage the VM.  it seems i am required to use sudo for all of the virsh
commands, like starting and shutting down the VM.  when i use the GUI
virtual machine manager (virt-manager), it doesn't start with admin
privileges, and so i can't do anything.... it doesn't find the VM's XML
file in /etc/libvirt/qemu because that file is owned by root and has
permissions 600.  so i have to manually use 'sudo virt-manager' before i
can manage the VM.

seems to me something went wrong, and that i should be able to
manage/start/stop the VM without super-user privileges.  any ideas?

thanks
