Aero not working in Windows 7 — at Initial Version

Description
Host: Windows XP SP3 Professional 32-bit
Guest: Windows 7 SP1 Professional 32-bit
VirtualBox 4.1.3 r73690 (from misha's reply in #9240).
I installed Guest Additions with WDDM (in non-safe mode checked the "3D" option and answered NO when installer suggested Direct3D). In Device Manager under Display Adapters I can see:
VirtualBox Graphics Adapter (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM)
Video memory is set to 128 MB.
After that I go to Personalize and select any Aero theme. But only wallpaper changes, the rest of the windows decoration remains the same non-Aero "Windows 7 Basic"-like design (no changes of the windows borders' color, no transparency, no window previews, etc.)
