Bug Description
If I open a VirtualBox guest system like Windows XP in VirtualBox, I can't switch to another workspace using CTRL + ALT + Right/Left Arrow or with CTRL + ALT + Holding mouse.
What's really strange about that bug, it's that if I use the compiz cube plugin with transparency and that I try to initiate the cube with CTRL + ALT + Holding mouse, the desktop background will become transparent, but the cube won't initiate. This bug can sometime lead to more dramatic problems like loosing access to windows in each workspace.
Steps to reproduce the bugs are :
1. Make sure Compiz is enabled
2. Open a guest operating system in VirtualBox
3. Press CTRL + ALT + Right/Left arrow to switch to another workspace, it won't work.

The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the actively developed release. You can find out more about the development release at [WWW] http:// www.ubuntu. com/testing/
You can install Virtualbox on the LiveCD and load it with the VM image from your hard drive.
