By the way, I'm under Fedora 15 + Linux 3.0.0 (from fedora-rawhide repository), maybe this is linked.

Ok, it works for me too.
I'm now able for example to start my Win7 vm and connecting to it
through spice (from the F15 host itself)

So now my situation in /usr/bin is
# ll qemu*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root       8 Jul 29 10:59 qemu -> qemu-kvm
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root  361032 Jul 27 22:26 qemu-img
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root  375368 Jul 27 22:26 qemu-io
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 3842128 Jul 27 22:26 qemu-kvm
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root  350728 Jul 27 22:26 qemu-nbd
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 3684136 Jul 27 22:26 qemu.old
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root       8 Jul 29 10:59 qemu-system-x86_64 -> qemu-kvm
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 3751000 Jul 27 22:26 qemu-system-x86_64.old

and
virsh capabilities
gives all the <guest> tags too, not only the <host> ones as before.
Thanks,
Gianluca
