OK, I started it from commandline:
tamas@milleniumfalcon:~/.VirtualBox> VirtualBox
Wrong owner (0) of '/tmp/.vbox-tamas-ipc'.
Wrong owner (0) of '/tmp/.vbox-tamas-ipc'.
It was the problem. Then I did this:
tamas@milleniumfalcon:~/.VirtualBox> su
Jelszó:
milleniumfalcon:/home/tamas/.VirtualBox # ls -la /tmp/.vbox-tamas-ipc/
összesen 304
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 jan 15 13.56 .
drwxrwxrwt 43 root root 299008 jan 28 19.48 ..
srwx------ 1 root root 0 jan 15 13.56 ipcd
-rw------- 1 root root 6 jan 15 13.56 lock
milleniumfalcon:~ # chown tamas:users -R /tmp/.vbox-tamas-ipc
And now VirtualBox runs without any problem. Even the sound works, much better
than in openSUSE 11.0. Afterwards I exited the whole VirtualBox, removed the
directory /tmp/.vbox-tamas-ipc, and restarted virtualbox, in order to observe,
if it will be able to generate the new directory with appropriate permissions.
And it was able! What generated that old and restrictive directory? I didn't do
it manually. So, my problem is solved, but I don't know the orginal reason to
help you avoiding this incident in the future.
