I tried upgrading from 2.2.0 to 2.3.0 a bunch of times, but I haven't been able to reproduce the failure you're reporting: libvirt-guests is never started automatically. Can you provide more information? What distribution are you using? Are you building from source, or using your distribution's packages? Are you sure libvirt-guests was not running even before upgrade? -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
