Short word of caution as the wiki mentions to tick in 3D Acceleration:
I have so far failed to get KWin working with OpenGL in VirtualBox, so I assume if compositing is 
working it is only the fallback to XRender. Unfortunately there is no way to see whether KWin 
uses the XRender fallback or OpenGL[1] The KWin active build flags in master disable XRender 
based compositing.

I wanted to test it out, but the image is failing for me in the same way as I think it's failing for Ivan.
