Linux – seamless mode remote desktop connection from linux to windows

linuxremoteseamlessvirtualizationwindows

I am a programmer using Linux as my main OS, however sometimes I need to use windows (ie, office, ea).
I'm running qemu with kvm to access the windows "machine".

I would like to achieve something that is described here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SeamlessVirtualization
(It means I would be able to run chosen applications on Windows and then display them locally on Linux as separate windows achieving good desktop integration).

However seamless rdp is buggy and doesn't work on my machine (probably because I'm using a tiling window manager and a 64bit system).

Are you aware of any other solution then rdp seamless mode? I would prefer to still use quemu because it uses cpu hardware virtualization, so different protocol/client combination would be preferable.

It's only very recently that there has been support for single windows via RDP, I don't think this has been implemented yet in xrdp - and requires a server licence at the MS end. AFAIK VNC and NoMachine NX still don't provide the functionality. It has been available in Citrix for a long time (and there are free Linux clients available).
