windows don´t appear in unity (3d) when running on Virtual Box

[Bru]

Unity 2D works fine. When trying to login under Unity, I can see windows being created (for example by opening the screens overview), but nothing appears on the desktop. The unity dock and top menubar are working though.

Same issue with the puel verson. BTW: GNOME3 does render in 3D on the same install.

Apologies. "The unity dock and top menubar are working though." do not work for me. Unchecking 'This bug affects you. Sorry for the noise.
