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
