Just to notice that what worked for me online, without need of reboot
of my all-in one f18 system was

take notice of packages to downgrade, just for reference:
rpm -qa | grep libvirt|grep 0.10.2.7-1

mkdir libvirt_downgrade
cd libvirt_downgrade

LIST=$(rpm -qa | grep libvirt|grep 0.10.2.7-1 | sed "s/0.10.2.7-1/0.10.2.6-1/")
SITE="http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/libvirt/0.10.2.6/1.fc18/x86_64/"
(note that it is indeed a "/" in 0.10.2.6/1 and not a "-")

for pack in $LIST
do
wget ${SITE}${pack}.rpm
done

sudo rpm -Uvh --force *rpm


connect to webadmin and start one of my WinXP VMs --> ok
