After some more testing with a new user it finally works if the given
user is in group 'kvm'. I made these user changes with yast, appearently
there is some syncing going on in the background. nscd does not run.
No idea why it initially failed for user 'olaf'.

So for short: its now working for me with 12.2, and 'virsh -c
qemu:///session capabilities' prints also os_type hvm.
