Do you mean the thread with the subject "error when trying to connect with virt-manager"?
The solution seems to be the same as in 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=216975.

Unfortunately, this does not resolve my issues.
[root at ws2 fs]# cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
::1     ws2.schwarz.lokal       localhost localhost.localdomain
127.0.0.1       ws2.schwarz.lokal localhost localhost.localdomain

I suspect, it has something to do with GCONF/D-Bus:

[root at ws2 fs]# virt-manager &
[1] 14202
[root at ws2 fs]# ps u
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
(..)
root     13675  0.0  0.0  65264  1612 pts/5    S    21:32   0:00 bash
root     14202 19.0  0.6 316252 22648 pts/5    S    22:02   0:00 python 
/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py
root     14204 10.5  0.1  87936  4972 pts/5    S    22:02   0:00 /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 8
root     14205  0.0  0.0  64684   952 pts/5    R+   22:02   0:00 ps u
[root at ws2 fs]#

So gconf is started but after that, it waits for something. Can the D-bus be blocked by 
some faulty application?
