I came up with the attached patch to fix this for me, but
a) I'm not sure if it is a clean use of the api to call virConnectOpen() from 
   within a state-initializer function
b) This is just for qemu/kvm, I haven't looked at any other drivers

It would be nice if an experienced libvirt-developer could take a look at
this. Thank you very much.

Kind regards,

Gerd
