Hi Doug, thanks for the report - and yes I agree it shouldn't waste time on that, but it isn't that easy IMHO.
Users can configure in /etc/default/libvirt-guests for any URI including remote ones. Therefore there can be no local check to the service that will make a clear decision if we can skip trying to connect. But I'd expect that 99,9..% of the users have still "defult" in the URI and then we could do the suggested. I've submitted a patch for this [1], lets see what others think.
