What do you mean "homebutton functionality broken"? AFAIK there's no more "home button" in Oneiric.
The only thing that I could call a bug here is the <super> key being interpreted by both the "virtual" shell and the actual one.
In vbox, if you disable mouse integration, so that the cursor is bound to the virtual window, you'll be able to use the edge detection just fine. Also, alt+f1 will pop up the launcher for keyboard navigation.
Also, isn't alt+tab a practical way to switch tasks?
