I got 'Compiz Wallpaper' working in 'Ubuntu Classic Session' in 'Ubuntu 11.04 beta 2' in' Virtualbox with 4.0.4', with the desktop icons hidden, with .the 'VirtualBox 4.0.5 Guest Additions pre-release', and 'compiz-plugins-extra' (and upgrades, etc...) installed using 'Synaptic'

'Compiz --replace' would freeze the system if run from an 'Ubuntu Session', I haven't tried this yet from a KDE session. The desktop icons hidden option messes up the 'Ubuntu session' background. (pixels don't get replaced with the background when they should)
