Thanks, very good work,
also a very nice release from oracle/their Virtualbox team, especially the 
puel packaging moved into an easy to use extra package is nice.

Btw I can't open my settings menu in the gui, it works with VBoxManage though, 
it just segfaults. There is no bug adress in obs, will you take bug reports 
through novell/opensuse bug tracker for the Virtualization repo?


Thanks again,
Karsten
