Yes it was exclusive to compiz, but not anymore in karmic where this
problem affect both compiz and metacity. Description of the bug updated
for that purpose.

** Description changed:

- This problem doesn't appear with metacity, it only appears with compiz.
- 
  If I open a VirtualBox guest system like Windows XP in VirtualBox, I
  can't switch to another workspace using CTRL + ALT + Right/Left Arrow or
  with CTRL + ALT + Holding mouse.
  
  What's really strange about that bug, it's that if I use the compiz cube
  plugin with transparency and that I try to initiate the cube with CTRL +
  ALT + Holding mouse, the desktop background will become transparent, but
  the cube won't initiate. This bug can sometime lead to more dramatic
  problems like loosing access to windows in each workspace.
  
  Steps to reproduce the bugs are :
  
  1. Make sure Compiz is enabled
  2. Open a guest operating system in VirtualBox
  3. Press CTRL + ALT + Right/Left arrow to switch to another workspace, it won't work.
