You should be able to launch a VNC client (if you're not using SDL for graphics), and point it at the port that that domain is on (netstat or set the display with vncdisplay= in the domain's config). I've seen this problem before: libvirt didn't seem to pick up the VNC display properly, but I can't remember which version of libvirt I testing at the time. Using virsh to get it's XML definition of the domain led me to this conclusion, as soon as I added it in and created the domain from an XML file using virsh instead of xm, the problem went away.

I'm using RHEL 5.  One of the virtual machines I have running is a
WinXP install.  I start this up after I login to X.  If I log out of
X, the virtual WinXP is still running (that's fine with me).  However
when I log back into X and start the Virtual Machine Manager, I am
unable to open the machine.  It normally says "Virtual Machine Console
is unavailable." There does not appear to be any way to get back to
doing anything with the WinXP virtual machine.  I have to destroy it
and start a new one.  I've tried this with both KDE and Gnome
sessions, both exhibit the same problem.  Is there any way to get back
to my virtual WinXP?
