Has anyone managed to get the seamless windows effect with Virtualbox Rdesktop & Seamlessrdp ?

Friends and family who have seen my new laptop and edgy + Beryl are asking me to put Ubuntu on their laptop etc Its amazing to see how taken people are with the current state of Ubuntu.
However they all take the request back when they realise that that won't be able to run a particular vital application.

As a result I''ve spent some time trying to get XP applications running inside my fresh edgy install.

So when i came across this article:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...UnderQemuHowTo

I was very keen to get it all working. I reckon that if this could be made to work smoothly, a large new userbase of Ubuntu switchers will appear.

Unfortunately I haven't managed to get Qemu or Kqemu running at any usable speed and I can't get KVM working at all.
It was after trying this that I discovered Virtualbox http://www.virtualbox.org

Which I my system absolutely flies and is silky smooth, in fullscreen mode there is no sense that I am working in a virtualised environment.

The really neet thing I am trying to get done though is the rdesktop & seamlessrdp access.
This means I or my new Ubuntu loving friends could ulitmately just click a link and get a full speed XP app running in Ubuntu in its own window. (explained in the WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo link above)

Rdesktop & seamlessrdp access actually worked fine with Qemu using the command.

/usr/local/bin/rdesktop -A -s \ "c:\seamlessrdp\seamlessrdpshell.exe C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -c "c:\seamlessrdp" 192.168.0.3

I've set up static host access in Virtualbox using a tap interface as per this page:

This works fine but I cannot get the rdesktop & seamlessrdp to work together, rdesktop logs in fine but I get the full desktop and not the seamless windows.

Has anyone managed to get the seamless windows effect with Virtualbox ?
