I tried it up starting and stopping libvirtd, fetching capabilities, starting vms and so on, and wasn't able to see any 'qmp.pid' file hanging around.

About the code, I looked it up and all calls to qemuProcessQMPNew() are being cleaned up accordingly with a qemuProcessQMPFree() function, which calls qemuProcessQMPStop(), and the Stop function cleans up both the pid file and the uniqDir: ----- qemuProcessQMPStop(qemuProcessQMPPtr proc) -----     if (proc->pidfile)         unlink(proc->pidfile);     if (proc->uniqDir)         rmdir(proc->uniqDir); ------ The proper fix here would be to understand in which conditions the 'qmp.pid' file is being left behind and make the code go through the existing cleanup path, fixing qemuProcessQMPFree and/or qemuProcessQMPStop if needed. What you're doing here works, but it's fixing the symptom of a bug instead of the bug itself.
