I have not tried it but (in theory :-P) it should be the same. The application you need to run from VB can be placed in a second workspace and switching between workspaces can be done in gnome-shell by means of "Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down arrow". OTOH, there is also the fallback mode which should work the same as it did in GNOME 2.
