With 4.0.4, this was working. Since upgrading host and guest, cut/paste has stopped working.

+*virtualbox-guest-additions-4.0.6-r1 (26 Apr 2011) + + 26 Apr 2011; Lars Wendler <polynomial-c@gentoo.org> + -virtualbox-guest-additions-4.0.6.ebuild, + +virtualbox-guest-additions-4.0.6-r1.ebuild: + Fixed installation of udev-rules into /lib/udev. Thanks to Willard Dawson who + reported this in bug #364997. + Sorry for this really stupid mistake from me. I wanted to change installation directory of the udev-rules files from /etc/udev/rules.d/ to /lib/udev/rules.d/ and didn't change all places in the ebuild where the path is given. Should be fixed with -r1. Please test and if it still doesn't work, repoen this bug.
