You meant GNOME "2" + Compiz, right? :-)

Hmm... good question.
I have not tried it but (in theory :-P) it should be the same. The
application you need to run from VB can be placed in a second workspace
and switching between workspaces can be done in gnome-shell by means of
"Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down arrow".
OTOH, there is also the fallback mode which should work the same as it
did in GNOME 2.
