I upgraded from Qubes 3.2 to 4.0. I had been using Qubes 3.2 for over a
year. I have run into the following issues.

1. I have been using an external USB device for audio-conferencing etc.
because of the Qubes latency issues. In Qubes 3.2 it worked great.  I
simply attached it to the VM I wanted to use it in and that was all
there was to it. In Qubes 4.0, when I try to attach it I don't get an
error but running the command "qvm-usb" does not show it attached. When
I use a regular USB headset it attaches and works correctly, but of
course will not solve the latency issue. Has anyone tested an external
USB audio device successfully with Qubes 4.0. I did try making
/dev/snd/* executable by all and reload PulseAudio's module-udev-detect
but that didn't help.

2. In Qubes 3.2 I had issues getting x2go to work and I reported it at
the time. After trying the fedora templates, I tried debian 8 and it
worked. Now in Qubes 4.0 I am having the problem again with both fedora
26 and debian 9.  debian 8 is no longer available it seems. I can ssh to
the target server find over port 22 (which is the port x2go uses). Has
anyone by any chance tried using x2go with Qubes 4.0 and had any
success? I am of course using a VPN qube, which inherits from
sys-firewall.  There doesn't seem to be a ProxyVM setting anymore like
there was in Qubes 3.2.

I would like to note that so far the new Qubes Manager is, to me, more
difficult to use than the old one. First of all, I have to constantly
use the "Refresh qube list" button each time I do something and want to
see if reflected. So the manager often is out of sync with reality, at
least if you start or stop anything. Also, it seems to be slow when you
do something (until the operation completes?).

I do like the GUI for attaching/detaching devices. Unfortunately it
shows the same behavior as the command line when attaching the external
audio device.

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment anyone can provide.
