Yes, I had this problem today - with kvm, or perhaps virt-manager.
I was running a virtual instance of WindowsXP, and wanted to activate
the USB port to talk with a TomTom GPS device. When I clicked on the
appropriate box, a check appeared, then disappeared.
The USB port was, in fact, activated, but that behaviour is quite
unsatisfactory.
I, too, am running F21 and Xfce4. I studiously avoid Gnome.
