Bug Description
If you call virConnectOpen using a NULL parameter then the hypervisor search sequence will find and connect to the unprivileged 'qemu:///session' uri ahead of 'qemu:///system' for a non-root user - even if the user in question is a member of the libvirtd group.

conn->uri = xmlParseURI(
where 'privileged' is '1' if the process is running as root.
