It was loaded and was still slow. On resuming from saved state it was actually non-responsive, not sure why.
I then installed Fedora 18 as a guest and with 3D acceleration working, guest additions installed, it was still a bit slow. That was using Gnome Shell/Gnome 3. I gave up on getting Debian Squeeze working with Compiz under VirtualBox. I tried lots of things (recompiled guest additions, upgraded xserver from squeeze-backports, adding a missing symlink that enabled the correct driver to be loaded etc). I got to the Monty Python-esque point of using Google Translate on a Russian forum that seemed to have the exact same situation as me. No luck. On an Arch Linux forum thread there is mention of a known bug with VirtualBox v4.2.6 and some users are running a patched xserver to overcome it but I kinda ran outta steam for this problem. It's forced me to look into Bluetile for tiling capabilities and that might be a good thing but I miss the bling of Compiz. I documented everything I tried so if anyone is interested I can pass my notes over.
