libvirt authentication failure using non-root virt-manager?

[PGNet <pgnet.trash+osvm@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm connecting to a remote Opensuse 11.1/Xen Dom0 box remotely, using nxclient.


i've installed,

	rpm -qa | egrep "virt|xen|vm"
		kernel-xen-base-2.6.27.7-9.1
		kernel-xen-2.6.27.7-9.1
		xen-tools-3.3.1_18494_03-1.8
		yast2-vm-2.16.8-1.17
		libvirt-python-0.4.6-11.1
		virt-viewer-0.0.3-3.25
		kernel-xen-extra-2.6.27.7-9.1
		libvirt-0.4.6-11.1
		vm-install-0.3.19-2.1
		xen-libs-3.3.1_18494_03-1.8
		virt-manager-0.6.0-6.1
		xen-3.3.1_18494_03-1.8
		...

Previously using VNC (now disabled), I was able to login as root and
run @KDE4, virt-manager without problem.

NX does not permit root login, so i'm logged in as a normal user.
unfortunately, @ virt-manager launch,

	ps ax | grep -i virt
		21665 ?        S<s    0:01 python
/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py -c xen:///

I get a dialog:

	VIRTUAL MACHINE MANAGER CONNECTIN MANAGER
	Unable to open a connection to the Xen hypervisor/daemon.
	
	Verify that:
	 - A Xen host kernel was booted
	 - The Xen service has been started

	Detail:

		Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'xen:///':
		<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> unable to connect to
'/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': Connection ref

reading @

	http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtPolicyKit
	http://libvirt.org/auth.html

i've added to "/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf",

	<match action="org.libvirt.unix.manage">
		<match user="pg06">
			<return result="yes"/>
		</match>
	</match>
	
	<match action="org.libvirt.unix.monitor">
		<match user="pg06">
			<return result="yes"/>
		</match>
	</match>


now, @ virt-manager launch, i get a different failure,

	VIRTUAL MACHINE MANAGER CONNECTIN MANAGER
	Unable to open a connection to the Xen hypervisor/daemon.
	
	Verify that:
	 - A Xen host kernel was booted
	 - The Xen service has been started

	Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'xen:///':
	<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> authentication failed
	Traceback (most recent call last):
	  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 480,
in _open_thread
		None], flags)
	  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 99, in openAuth
		if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
	libvirtError: authentication failed


ideas @ next steps?

thanks.
