CentOS - Jul 2010 - kvm as non-root user

Tried as I might, I cannot get kvm on CentOS 5.4 to run as a non-root
user.  Have Googled and followed guidance I've found (put the regular
user in the kvm group, change permissions on several files, etc.).

Anyone have decent (e.g., working) guidance on how to do this?

The output of "ls -l /dev/kvm" should be like this:

crw-rw----+ 1 root kvm 10, 232 2010-07-02 09:27 /dev/kvm

I have not had to do anything special as long as the non root user is
member of "kvm" group.
