As it was a virtual machine (I guess that's the reason) Gnome 3

openbox, but I was curious.) However, still no Gnome 3. I seem to
remember this being a known issue--or perhaps not even considered an

Yeah, it's a known issue. In theory we should be able to make it work
with VBox's acceleration passthrough, in practice it doesn't, yet. It's
mentioned in Common Bugs.
