I would really like this too. Both VMWare(called Unity mode) and VirtualBox(called seamless mode) has it, spice should have it too. I believe Xavier is correct in that most (normal) people use virtualization mostly to run a few windows apps on linux. It doesn't seem to be ready for testing yet and nobody is working on it currently, but there have been updates on this. See these mails: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2016-August/031254.html And rpms are here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/lvenhoda/vd_agent-seamless-mode/ And git-repos are here (seamless mode fork): https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~lvenhoda/spice-gtk/ https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~lvenhoda/spice-protocol/ https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~lvenhoda/vd_agent/ Since performance of spice is good enough to scroll webpages and watch full-hd youtube videos without hiccups as demonstrated by Whonix on KVM (https://www.whonix.org/), this could be used to have "Qubes OS"-like seamless sandboxes on every Linux distribution running KVM. I would LOVE to test this. Any chance someone would send me the directions? -- GitLab Migration Automatic Message -- This bug has been migrated to freedesktop.org's GitLab instance and has been closed from further activity.
