VirtualBox 4.0.8 does enough 3d emulation (after installing the client tools) to start Gnome3.
I am having a problem though when I try to access the "System Settings"/"System Info" icon. The window appears to open, but it's completely white. If you dare click anywhere on anything else, (like the "Application" link, the Clock, or your full name) the whole screen turns white, and the font goes to hell.
I can confirm both of these things. I do have an F15 VirtualBox guest running with F14 as the host OS, and I can repeat this phenomenon with the System Info. Very weird. CTRL-Alt-Backspace (sends you back to the login screen) also works for recovery. I have yet to figure out how to do a CTRL-ALT-F2 in a Vbox guest, as this normally sends the *host* OS to the text console. Probably some Vbox setting we have different. CTRL-Alt-Backspace can be sent to the guest from the Machine menu in Vbox.
