  Thanks Eric, I'll look into that and while I do so, I thought I'll
already share the next issue that really is blocking me:

[zeenix at z-laptop ~]$  virt-install --name whatever --ram 1024 --disk
nothing.img --cdrom
/home/zeenix/Downloads/Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD/Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso
--virt-type kvm --os-variant fedora13 --connect qemu:///system
ERROR    authentication failed
[zeenix at z-laptop ~]$ ls -l /home/zeenix/spice-usr/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
srwxrwx---. 1 root libvirt 0 Jun  7 04:10
/home/zeenix/spice-usr/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
[zeenix at z-laptop ~]$ groups
libvirt wheel wireshark mock

Here is how things look like on the libvirtd side:

# libvirtd

I'm attaching my config file. Notice that I've disabled authentication
but I still get this Policy kit error.
