Humm,
I have never gotten any animated 3D special effects when using KDE in any distro. I get various things like see through when moving but any animation is not possible. Besides I can't even enable 3D effects unless I use XRender. Installing Mandriva 2010 (or any other OS) with Gnome and it works. So, OpenGL + KDE = No 3D effects in VBox!

I was able to get 3D effects using "metisse" in Mandriva 2010 guest, but no KDE4 effects and no Compiz.

This problem is still relevant, but you can see a way to make it work: Bug #4582
