I think the actual issue needs investigations.
First of all I can confirm unity in my natty guest (with virtualbox-ose-
guest-x11 installed) stopped working in my VirtualBox (4.0.4 on ubuntu
10.10 host) after the update to xserver 1.10 in guest. Instead compiz is
still able to run in natty guest (maybe software rendering? see below)
## Issues in xorg launch ##
(II) AIGLX: Trying DRI driver /usr/lib/dri/vboxvideo_dri.so
(II) Next line is added to allow vboxvideo_drv.so to appear as whitelisted
driver
(II) The file referenced, is *NOT* loaded
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//ati_drv.so
(II) AIGLX: vboxvideo does not export required DRI extension

So, it seems vboxvideo_dri has issues ("does not export required DRI
extension"). I suspect the only option is wait from update from
upstream, but of course "no bug, no fix" :) Someone could search for
existing bug or maybe file a new one -- quick search on
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Bugtracker showed nothing related.

A quick and dirty "gdb unity" showed me that /usr/bin/unity is not a
binary file, so by now I stopped here. But the question is: is the
process termination a direct consequence of previous vboxvideo_dri
lacking?
