If you actually want it to work, I recommend VMWare Player instead of
VBox. I have 12.04 running on the same host; VMWare Player correctly
does proper 3D (Unity and GNOME), VBox does not. Doesn't matter how many
times that I reinstall/reconfigure VBox, it still does not work in 3D.
And if I actually turn on the 3D display in Vbox, I don't even get a top
panel.
  Same host/system - plus that same system has boot partitions to 12.04
& 11.04, and both work just fine, so it's not a hardware issue.

Works For Me.
VirtualBox (4.1.12) does not.

And yes, I do have the most recent VBox extension (VirtualBox 4.1.12
Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack) installed on the host. I can both
in parallel & side-by-side. Thumbs down on VirtualBox.
