You are right. I were planning to do that. But in fact, I do (did) not
know whether this was a bug or not

It means, all works until you start the virtual machine. Error message:
----------------------------
The VirtualBox support driver which is running is from a different
version of VirtualBox. You can correct this by stopping all running
instances of VirtualBox and reinstalling the software..
VBox status code: -11 (VERR_VERSION_MISMATCH).
Result Code:
0x80004005
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45}

This is a one big problem. I do not know for sure, but I think that is
1.5.0 because I installed after the VBoxGuestAdditions_1.5.0_OSE.iso

at the first time
Best regards,

PS: (only to Frank) I blind carbon copy this email to you. Is this what
is used to do? ... or what? Sorry for the inconvenience in any case.
