That's a nice setup

Just wanted to share my take on the problem as well. I'm using Ubuntu running in VirtualBox in seamless mode (Host+L). The result is close to what you have here, but without installing anything on the host.

No input problems either - with the VirtualBox additions this is managed automatically. The input is automatically redirected to the VM when it's hovered.

Here's how it looks:



Chrome is running on the Windows host. Essentially, you can "see through" the VMs desktop.
