It's a bit obscure, see qvm-service. "meminfo-writer" service is
responsible for memory balancing. But it should be already in "off"
state for sys-net.

This is maximum memory size in MB. Setting it to 1 doesn't sounds like a
good idea, but... for VMs with PCI devices it is ignored and "memory"
property is used instead (because of Xen limitation, namely
populate-on-demand being incompatible with PCI-passthrough).

400MB should be enough for sys-net, in some cases even lower number
should suffice.

There were a bunch of fixes yesterday (late) evening, including one for
qmemman, and GUI stuff. Make sure you have:

    qubes-core-dom0 4.0.18
    qubes-core-admin-client 4.0.13
    qubes-manager 4.0.11
    qubes-dbus 1.0.4

Specifically qmemman was broken in qubes-core-dom0 in 4.0.16 and 4.0.17.
