xVM VirtualBox issue with Fedora

Hi all,

I have installed VirtualBox from sun website
http://dlc.sun.com/virtualbox/vboxdownload.html

I downloaded the .run file as rpm was not available for F10

I did

Code:

su -

chmod a+x VirtualBox-2.0.4-38406-Linux_x86.run
./VirtualBox-2.0.4-38406-Linux_x86.run

It asked me to install build and kernel headers before I proceed with installation, I did:

Code:

yum -y install kernel-devel

then did a re-run
it installed with no errors or warnings.
Hurray!

I saw VirtualBox Ico in my Applications - System

but whenever I click on it, nothing happens, I tried

Code:

ps aux | grep virtualbox

it showed nothing...

then did ps aux and check each and every process.. no relation with virtualbox...

any ideas?
