The computer is running Gentoo and Windows XP in VirtualBox.
I need to run Windows XP :-( (no choice) 

The program I'm running is a dental program that stores images, I need to have an access to these images from different rooms; so I have to have access to VM 
Windows XP in order to start the Windows XP program that will allow me to view those pictures (mostly X-rays images).

If I start VB with:
VBoxHeadless -startvm "Windows XP" will I be able to run it in foreground and access it via KDRC?
