What version of libvirt are you using? Since 1.2.5 there's
virDomainSetTime() API that can do this and since 1.2.8 it's called
automatically after resume.
Umm, I have a problem with that statement. Anything that requires guest
interaction (which guest-agent set-time does) must NOT default to being
automatic; it is only safe to enable if explicitly allowed. What is the
domain XML that must be explicitly set in order to turn on automatic
time-set after resume?
