Went in _very_ smooth on Ubuntu 8.04.2 as an update via the repository
(PEUL VirtualBox not Ubuntu). Of course one has to remember to update
the guest additions as well; would be nice if the future updates
included a reminder/popup/msg stating that this is a good thing to do...

Does:

  Linux hosts: moved the udev rules for USB forward so that they don’t
override existing system rules (bug #3143)
and other usb fixes mean that Ubuntu users no longer have to use
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=<idnumber>,devmode=664 0 0
in /etc/fstab? I've not modified mine (yet) to test, but if it's already
taken care of then I won't have to test.

Regarding USB: wishlist _still_ includes the ability to mount a usb
printer in the guest (Win2KPro for instance) and unmount a usb printer
in the guest so that the usb printer is returned to the host (linux)
without having to either power off the printer, or plug/unplug the usb
connector.
