Description of problem:

virt-manager seems unable to connect to the localhost qemu system.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

virt-manager-0.5.4-4.fc9.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. launch virt-manager
2. double click on localhost qemu system
3.
  
Actual results:

Status changes to "connecting" and stays like that for a while, then the window stops redrawing.

Expected results:

A new window with the VMs listed for localhost.

Additional info:

Attaching strace after the window stops redrawing shows:

# strace -f -p 3031
Process 3052 attached with 2 threads - interrupt to quit
[pid  3052] futex(0x214a530, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2, NULL <unfinished ...>
[pid  3031] futex(0x2502b10, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 0, NULL

This was working fine with F9 stable updates, but broke when I updated to rawhide.

virsh based operation still seems to work.

Note also that I'm doing this over VNC.
