Hello Greg, I'm afraid that guest support of Compiz is still rather "work in progress", but see below.

Thus far cannot reliably reproduce either. Again, you might want to open a bug ticket, although I'm not sure whether running openGL applications under Compiz is supported for now (I'm not even sure whether it is supported on physical hardware using legacy DRI). > 2.

As above, but I don't know if this is a VBox issue - I sometimes get the same thing when I use Compiz on physical hardware.
