Regression of forcing 0700 permissions (which breaks guest startup
because the qemu user can't see /var/lib/libvirt/*.monitor) was
introduced in commit 66823690e, as part of libvirt 0.8.2.
* libvirt.spec.in (%{_localstatedir}/lib/libvirt): Guarantee 755
permissions.

Stumbled on this one today when upgrading from F13 to F14, and my
VMs no longer started. Turns out that the upgrade process
reinitializes permissions according to the spec file, and the
spec file has been wrong for a couple of releases now.
