Slightly OT: My USB devices -- Nokia phone, Bluetooth dongle, Palm TX,
Ipod -- aren't recognized when I plug them in, despite having the
correct incantations in the VBox settings panel (i.e. I added filters
using "Get filter from device"). I also have the correct vboxusers
group. I was hoping VBox 3 would fix this, but it hasn't.
