I can honestly say that I haven't experienced so much pain working with
libvirt/virt-manger.  If I had I probably would have given up, but I've
been using it for years now.

What versions of packages are you using?  Are you mixing stable/unstable packages?

I can't really say.  I've never seen that error before.  What steps are
you taking to create the VM?
