I tried connecting several different devices to my Microsoft Windows 7 Virtual Machine. non of them working. Among them:
- USB Mass storage device
   *When inserting the device in my laptop it doesn't show up in nautilus on the host when added to a vm. (Something is going right). It doesn't show up in the guest os' Windows Explorer. (somethings not going right)
- HTC winmo phone
   * Nothing happens at all.

I've enabled USB access in apparmor.:
/etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/libvirt-qemu
  # WARNING: uncommenting these gives the guest direct access to host hardware.
  # This is required for USB pass through but is a security risk. You have been
