Bug Description

Using VirtualBox in unity / compiz, unity does not resign control over the input to VirtualBox.

Reproduction:
 - start VirtualBox
 - Hit alt-tab

expected: first switch between unity/VirtualBox, second hit switches inside the VirtualBox

what happens: sometimes alt-tab switches windows inside VirtualBox, but usually it switches out of the VirtualBox

% lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu quantal (development branch)
Release: 12.10
