Ok, I've just upgraded to Gnome 3, very smoothly I must say, and I think
I like it, after a couple of hours operating on my production machine.
Now, just noticed my first operating problem. I must run a Windows cad
application in VirtualBox. On Gnome 3 + Compiz,
You meant GNOME "2" + Compiz, right? :-)
Right, sorry :)
I just used to place this on another desktop at fullscreen, and just
dragged the mouse to the screen edge and let Compiz switch to the other
desktop when I needed to. That was one of the many ways Compiz had to
switch desktops but this was the one I was used to.
With Gnome 3, to start, I don't know how to switch to another desktop if
I am in VirtualBox fullscreen. Windows absorbs the Windows key, of
course, which is also the Gnome 3 hot key, and the top left screen
corner is occupied by VB. Does anyone know?

Hmm... good question.
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".
No, doesn't work, not even in windowed mode; VB captures the keystroke
and delivers it to the Windows XP guest; Gnome 3 doesn't even notice it
and IMHO that's the way it should be because you might need it on the guest.
What I think I need is a working corner/top/edge screen trigger which
isn't working with VB fullscreen.
OTOH, there is also the fallback mode which should work the same as it
did in GNOME 2.
I didn't try it because I'm liking Gnome 3, it fits my operating mode.
Thank you for helping,
jss
