When I start Windows guests with libvirt my clocks are 5 hours off.
When I
use a Xen configuration file, I can specify an offset (rtc_timeoffset =

this offset in XML with libvirt?
Right now, I'm using version 0.4.4 but I downloaded the source for 0.5.1 and
it looks like that part of domain_conf.c hasn't changed.
Sounds like you have the wrong clock offset setting, in the XML. There
are two options:
<clock offset="localtime"/>
<clock offset="utc"/>
Usually for Windows you want the 'localtime' one since it is dumb at time
keeping & DST shifts.
