Yes.  As you found out, there are 2 things you need to do, the first of which is
to instruct libvirtd to listen, and the second of which is to make it listen for
TLS.  You can accomplish the first on Fedora by editing /etc/sysconfig/libvirtd
and uncommenting the LIBVIRTD_ARGS="--listen" line.  You can accomplish the
second by edit /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf by uncommenting the "listen_tls = 1"
line.  Then "service libvirtd restart", and you should be good to go (this will
also preserve the configuration across reboots).
