Guest Applications in Seamless Mode

Post by ttroutindy »

Is it possible to run guest (Windows) applications from the host (Linux) while in seamless mode. For example either running a command from the terminal or having an icon on my gnome panel.

Thanks,

You can run Guest programs from the Guest while in seamless. Starting them on the Guest from the Host is not possible. You might want to search the forums, as it's been asked before. I'm not sure, but there might have been a work-around somewhere. But in general, not possible.
