Both a Fedora flatpak of GNOME Boxes as well as getting the QEMU user session to work normally in virt-manager requires getting qemu and the libvirt daemons to build and install as flatpak builds. The necessary changes are extensive, but I do have a local proof of concept build of both apps that are working. It will take some work to clean up, submit, and get my patches merged, but it does seem doable now.
