As i understand, when libvirt init from application, it parse conf file $HOME/.libvirt/libvirt.conf and set params. Also libvirt have env param LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI, which set default connection uri. I will extend libvirt.conf file with default connect uri parameter. Also, i think it will be good idea to make env variable LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI higher priority over conf file value (it will be usefull for user scripts). Thanks 2012/2/27 Daniel P.
