I am trying to run Window XP on Ubuntu using VMWare. Basically what I want is to have Windows in full screen mode. But not on one workspace - on two workspaces.
I managed to achieve this with VirtualBox, running it in headless mode, setting its desktop resolution to twice the size of my screen, connecting to it with rdesktop and removing all decorations from rdesktop window. It also works if I set up two monitors on virtual machine, allow multiple connections and then connect to each monitor separately using redesktop and its -d @1 parameter.
It works great except that VirtualBox is a lot slower than VMWare Workstation that I tried the other day.
