... Which, as you can see above, is exactly what OP is already doing
and what they're looking for an alternative to ;)

Also note that, at least as far as I understand, they want to make
sure the xen:/// default URI is picked up by an high-level management
application (in this case OpenStack), which suggests the new default
should be set globally rather than per-user, which is the reason why
I didn't mention the approach Martin suggested.

I still believe the best solution is to just uninstall the QEMU
driver so that everything will work as expected without having to
mess with configuration files at all.

Let's wait for OP to try either approach out and report back :)
