VirtualBox insists that they can't possibly have stable upstreamable X drivers, because they don't want to have internal ABI compatibility between their virtual GPU and their drivers, because waaaaaaaaaaaaaa that's so haaaaaaaaard. Therefore you're probably falling onto the (still very unoptimized) llvmpipe path for software gnome-shell. Feel free to ask VirtualBox when they're going to learn how ABI compatibility works. Until then I can't possibly recommend using VirtualBox to run experimental guests OSes. (Even then I still wouldn't recommend running VirtualBox, but that's just me preferring to run code that doesn't make me vomit to read.) - ajax
