I installed this patch on 3.22.10, it did not solve the problem of no menu entries listed when menu headings chosen in virt-manager. I also tried the latest upstream version, 3.22.21, which still has the same problem via x11 and no other time. The errors in the paste below occur when the "File" menu item is clicked once in the virt-manager via ssh / x11 forwarding (obviously it works locally). The relevant error is: (virt-manager:12201): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width: assertion 'width >= 0' failed a few times, followed by *** BUG *** In pixman_region32_init_rect: Invalid rectangle passed Set a breakpoint on '_pixman_log_error' to debug [administrator@ceo1homenx ~]$ virt-manager --debug [Mon, 02 Oct 2017 20:51:21 virt-manager 12201] DEBUG (cli:261) Launched with command line: /usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager --debug [Mon, 02 Oct 2017 20:51:21 virt-manager 12201] DEBUG (virt-manager:183) virt-manager version: 1.4.1 [Mon, 02 Oct 2017 20:51:21 virt-manager 12201] DEBUG (virt-manager:184) virtManager import: [Mon, 02 Oct 2017 20:51:23 virt-manager 12201] DEBUG (virt-manager:214) PyGObject version: 3.22.0 [Mon, 02 Oct 2017 20:51:23 virt-manager 12201] DEBUG (virt-manager:218) GTK version: 3.22.10 [Mon, 02 Oct 2017 20:51:24 virt-manager 12201] DEBUG (engine:496) libguestfs inspection support: False [Mon, 02 Oct 2017 20:51:24 virt-manager 12201] DEBUG (systray:156) Showing systray: False [Mon, 02 Oct 2017 20:51:24 virt-manager 12201] DEBUG (engine:1037) processing cli command uri= show_window= domain= [Mon, 02 Oct 2017 20:51:24 virt-manager 12201] DEBUG (engine:1039) No cli action requested, launching default window [Mon, 02 Oct 2017 20:51:24 virt-manager 12201] DEBUG (manager:203) Showing manager [Mon, 02 Oct 2017 20:51:24 virt-manager 12201] DEBUG (engine:401) window counter incremented to 1 [Mon, 02 Oct 2017 20:51:24 virt-manager 12201] DEBUG (engine:161) Loading stored URIs: qemu+ssh://
