Thanks for all the info. It is indeed a virtualbox driver problem. I installed the vbox open-source drivers (virtualbox-ose-guest-utils and virtualbox-ose-guest-x11) and compiz now runs. (I had to reboot three times before the desktop appearance manager worked without crashing but it all seems fine now.)
