That seems to have been fixed: virsh 1.1.1 (on Ubuntu 13.10) connects to
qemu:///system by default. (So, it appears, does virt-manager.) I only
have one libvirtd instance, and it's running as root: I presume that is
the 'system' instance?

Turns out that "virsh list" does not list powered-off VMs. I either have
to boot it up or use "virsh list --all". That tells me what I already
know: that the *name* of my single VM is "sl6".

If I run "virsh edit sl6", then indeed I get an editor full of XML.
Progress! Does this mean that "domain" and "name" are the same thing?

Anyways, I've updated the wiki page: please check
http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#Guest_configuration to see if I
got it right.

Thanks for your help!
