But then I never "launch" programs; they are either running all the time (Firefox, Emacs, &c) or are started from the command line (mplayer, xpdf, ...).

I think the difference between running a distro virtualized and on your real computer is like the difference between dating someone and marrying her :-) But I hope it turns out well for you!
