(Get the code!)
I believe that this bug is due to the fact that compiz or any other windows manager than metacity does not integrate as much as metacity with gnome, so VirtualBox can completely grab keys and even if compiz filter some special keys like "CTRL + ALT + Right arrow", it does not seem to gain any priority on VirtualBox.
The proof is that if I initialize a transparent cube with "CTRL + ALT + Left button", the desktop is suddenly transparent and I see the faces of the cube... but the cube does not initialize. ( See screenshot, we can see the 5 faces of the "cube" through the transparent desktop. At this point, I should be able to turn a transparent and zoomed cube with my mouse but I only get a transparent desktop like one face of the cube ).
