On virt-manager-0.8.5-1.fc14 (fedora 14 box), I just tried File->add connection; hypervisor qemu/kvm, check the box for remote host, method ssh, and then you can specify both username and host, at which point it displays a generated URI of qemu+ssh://user@remote/system. > > I face a strange behavior: I added my user in libvirt group and modify > libvirtd.conf to start with group libvirt.

And here, no authentication was even attempted (which means you really connected to qemu:///session). Try instead to use: virsh -c qemu:///system to see the difference (system and session maintain independent lists of running domains, which is why your use of virsh without -c saw no domains because it connected to session instead of system).
