Interestingly, I ran apport to get some system information, and I get this message:

> Your system is providing 3D via software rendering rather than hardware rendering. This is a compatibility mode which should display 3D graphics properly but the performance may be very poor. If the problem you're reporting is related to graphics performance, your real question may be why X didn't use hardware acceleration for your system.

3D acceleration is indeed turned on for this VM, and Workspaces animation is very snappy, so as far as I've been aware it +has+ been using hardware acceleration. I don't know if this is relevant, but adding it anyway.

Let me know if you need any logs.
