RHEL-4 ships with an old version of dbus which just isn't going to work
in the slightest. Upgrading dbus on RHEL-4 is also not practical because
it impacts core system daemon. Probably your only semi-practical option 
is to remove/comment out the dbus stuff in virt-manager, but then you 
loose functionality for integrating with the host network when creating
new guests & virtual networks
