That would be a headless VM, wouldn't it? Because you can't start a normal VM, with a window, if no one is logged in, and the app/shortcut isn't in the "Startup Applications".
That wouldn't be something that VirtualBox controls, that would be something that your
host OS controls.
- On Win* there's the "Start Minimized" option for shortcuts.
- On OSX there's the "Start Hidden" option for apps that run on startup.
- On Mint, there's nothing AFAIK...
On the Mint front for example, in the "Startup Applications" I have GKrellM, Synergy, Psensor and SystemMonitor, starting after I login, and only Psensor has the option to start minimized, the rest have an "in your face" kind of approach, I have to minimize them manually, not a deal breaker...
