no, it's not. after doing what is written there, box creation still fails.
of course i run boxes as user, not root. the error in command line is like
this:

(gnome-boxes:1768): Boxes-WARNING **: wizard.vala:154: Unable to start
domain: internal error Process exited while reading console log output:

(gnome-boxes:1768): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_handler_disconnect:
assertion `handler_id > 0' failed

(gnome-boxes:1768): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_event: assertion
`WIDGET_REALIZED_FOR_EVENT (widget, event)' failed


for qemu, i've opened a bug:
