I've given up. I posted a message on bugzilla asking where the update is to
fix installation problems for a windows xp and 2000 vm's. No response. Sent
an email message to the people involved with the problem, a Justin M.

updated file should show up in the F13 updates.

It will be in the next update for F13. I mistakinely thought it had made
the 0.12.5 stable release upstream, so did not apply seperately. In the
meantime, there is a workaround, or you can use the F14 qemu from
virt-preview.

Still haven't seen it and I sent him another email. No reply. So I'm asking
here.
Is there some reason why why this subsystem is not being fixed specificaly
for F13? As I saw on some other posts it has apparently been fixed for other
distro's.

If the average user doesn't know about a work around they have zero hope of
getting it fixed. They only way for them is waiting for the updated packages
to show up in the updates repo's.
