It's ok, you're keeping it all in the same thread. :-)

Interesting.  Must be a special virtualbox thing, so it can access USB
devices.

plugdev would be a udev thing.  Grep for it in the /etc/udev/rules.d files.
Maybe the fedora packages still put all Barry operations in one udev
file.

ConsoleKit and HAL, at least on older Fedoras, don't change the group.
They either change the owner to the currently logged in user, or they
add the user as an ACL.  You'll need to use the getfacl command to
check this.
