That means if you don't specify a server / transport, it'll try to use
the local libvirtd daemon. ie, it supports  qemu:///system  URIs 
So this is the correct thing to be doing, but the open question is why
it would hang. If libvirtd isn't running locally it should give you
back an immediate rejection / failure, not hang in read.

I'll give that a try.
