Same here:
- Lucid in a VM (VirtualBox 3.1.6 - Windows XP host)
- Compiz enabled
- CompizConfig Settings Manager installed

The only work around I found is to enable the Screenshot function in CompizConfig Settings Manager.
Then your able to take screenshot by pressing SUPER and using the mouse to mark the screen area you want to picture.
By default the screenshot will be saved on the desktop.

Hope this helps.

Regards
Robert

The problem appears when you set antialiasing option to 2x in Nvidia Setting Manager...

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.
