Dave, it seems hot-plugging works fine.  I have repeatedly swapped from
the Belkin dongle to an ICOM radio USB programming cable, and each time
they have worked well.  

I simply left both items active in the VB filter menu, and the XP guest
was able to keep track of which one I had in the side port of my
Thinkpad R40 laptop.  XP would give the Belkin com3, and the ICOM cable
com4...(without restarts of the guest...).

I still think VB should pass through the dongle as ttyUSB0, and let SuSE
handle it...but it works this way, so far.

Pretty cool...I guess.
