Hi,

Please excuse if this is dumb question.  I have seen the way
Parallels operates on Mac.  Instead of opening up a window
with the whole of Windows inside, Parallels will float just
the application in the host's desktop.  Makes for a lot
less clutter.

Is there anything like this in our future?  (I know
you can do this with X11 and SSH on Linux VM's,
but it is slow and Windows doesn't support it.)


It's something that I'd love to see implemented. Although, for now
(talking about short-term future), I don't see myself work on this
(but I cannot speak for the others working on Spice).


Hi Fabiano,

This will probably not be of help, but just in case.
Over on the RDP site, they can float windows with "Seamless RDP"

Web Site: http://www.cendio.com/seamlessrdp

An example run string:

bash -c "rdesktop  -a 16 -k en-us -d ACME -u $(whoami) \
   -r printer:OkiB6300='HP LaserJet IIP Plus' \
   -r disk:MyLocalDrive=/export/`whoami`
   -A -s 'c:\\seamlessrdp\\seamlessrdpshell.exe \
   C:\\NtUtil\runqb2010.bat' -r clipboard:CLIPBOARD \
   192.168.254.14:5022"

It works, well as well as anything can be expect to work
on Windows, which means it sort-of-works: slow as all
get out and crashes a lot.
