I use "ubuntu hardy" but I dont think the problem is specific to the distribution I use.
I installed KVM and libvirt as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM
Following that method, created a domain, which dumps like this: <domain type='qemu' id='1'> <name>xp1</name> ... </domain>
Specifically what tool did you use to install the VM? That tutorial lists several different methods.
$ sudo virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n xp1 \ -r 512 -f xp1.qcow2 -s 12 -c xp.iso --vnc \ --noautoconsole --os-type windows --os-variant winxp
FYI, the reason you didn't end up with a kvm guest with this command is because you didn't pass the --accelerate flag. It's unfortunate that back compatibility prevents us from just defaulting to kvm, but that's the way it goes :( - Cole
