Description of problem:
libvirt chown ISO's to the qemu system user, which breaks the tool I use to downwload Ubuntu daily images.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt 1.0.0-0ubuntu3 on Ubuntu 13.04 Alpha

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use virt-manager to boot an ISO from your home directory.
2. ls -lh reveals that the ownership of the ISO has changed to libvirt-qemu:kvm (on Fedora, it may be qemu:qemu)

Expected results:
Since an iso is read-only like a regular CD, there shouldn't be any need for libvirt to chown the ISO just to read it.

Additional info:
This bug was discussed as the actual root cause for bug 517304 but it was basically worked around instead.
