I created a new VirtualBox VM and installed
Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-24-1.2.iso (the currently recommended
download). Then I redirected my bluetooth dongle to the VM and
verified that "bluetoothctl" sees my device:

  [bfo at localhost ~]$ bluetoothctl
  [NEW] Controller F4:06:69:34:AF:93 localhost.localdomain [default]
  [bluetooth]#

But, "gnome-control-center bluetooth" doesn't see the dongle. It shows
the same "No Bluetooth Found, Plug in a dongle to use Bluetooth"
message in the GUI (and the greyed out on/off button).

Any ideas?
