[fedora-virt] USB in F12

Hi,

I am having trouble with guests detecting usb gadgets. For example, I 
have a usb
bluetooth dongle, with F11 I would just add it to the guest machine and 
the F11
guest could use it without a hitch.

With the new F12 host and updated F11 to F12 guest, it isn't as easy.

Doing lsusb at the host I get:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 009 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 006 Device 005: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth
Dongle (HCI mode)
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 046d:c001 Logitech, Inc. N48/M-BB48 [FirstMouse 
Plus]

Using the virt-manager gui I add the bluetooth dongle, it seems to work 
but bluetooth
at the guest doesn't detect the dongle and doing lsusb returns:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

The same thing it returns before adding the dongle.

Is there something obvious I am missing?

And, when I add a physical device like this, does the xml file with the 
definition of
the guest get altered so that it will keep added the next time the host 
is booted up?

Thanks,
Andres
