When a user installs virtualbox he/she needs to add users to the group vboxusers to give them access to the kernel driver. The user should be provided a prompt, either on install, or on first run, that allows them to add users to the vboxusers group.

It should be on install.
The person who installs has the rights for that.
There could be a box with users to select.

Apparently they're saying that should happen during Virtualbox install? OK, I agree!

Well whether an idea or a bug report, I really wanted to vote it up!
