Oh, after copying those two stanzas, I restarted the daemon:

service libvirt-bin stop
service libvirt-bin start

----------------------------------

I'm not sure that this is the best solution. The libvirt folks apparently decided that qemu should run as a non-root user, and that is in general safer. The best solution would be to provide a way for users to convert their systems so that they can run qemu as that user.

But this will do for a work-around.
