When you run as user (qemu://session) you need the permissions on
/dev/kvm. Can you run kvm as regular user without virt-manager?

You can only user user networking when running as regular user. Please
see the libvirt documentation (libvirt-doc).

This indeed is a bug in virt-manager. I'll have a look.
