I don't understand the distinction you are making between the

this more -- what is this "Server" and how does it function? I'm
wondering if I'm missing something important in my own virtualization work.
How did you get libvirt 0.6.4? I only have 0.6.2:
[rlc@deafeng3 ~]$ rpm -q libvirt
libvirt-0.6.2-11.fc11.x86_64
Perhaps you got it through updates-testing?
Thanks

The server is a desktop server that runs qemu-kvm and libvirt. I connect
to that server from my laptop using virt-manager.
For newer spins, koji is your friend. Try
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=104926, get the
src.rpm and rebuild.
