Applications on Host VirtualBox like VMWare Fusion

Hi:

The VMWare Fusion can run applications guest into the host directly, even I saw that you can set the guest applications into the Dock of the host OS in this case Mac OS X. How I can do the same or something similar in VirtualBox?

I have the next sets:

My sets: VitualBox 3.2.12
Guest OS: Windows XP
Host OS: MAC OSX 10.6.6

If I do not express my self please see the next image.

Greetings.

I may be wrong, maybe someone has done this, but I don't think Virtualbox is quite that far yet. (unless there's something new in 4.0)
My Virtualbox has Seamless mode, which "transparent-izes" the desktop background of the guest OS, but the taskbar still shows, and the guest applications get put in the guest Taskbar, not the host.

Others have asked for this, too, I've seen. Probably down the pipe a little...

Thank you! I found I think what you have: Is the Flow Mode in the bottom panel bar. It works nice. Thanks.
