Okey, I understand the intention and I re-work to set the read-only
flag under the following conditions,
    - destination is a local hypervisor, 
      (i.e. including "///" in URI)
    - user is a non-root user, 
      (i.e. uid is not "0")
    - PolicyKit is not available with libvirt, 
      (i.e. "/usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/libvirtd.policy" has not 
       been created by libvirt)

Could you check the attached patch ?

Thanks,
Saori Fukuta
