I recall having set up a virtualised WinXP application so that it could be 
launched and run in a window on a remote Linux PC.  Not the whole WinXP OS 
virtual desktop, but a single application only.  The WinXP OS was a guest VM 
running within VirtualBox in another Linux PC.  I can't recall if a user 
logged into the WinXP OS at the time was affected in any way, i.e. logged out.  
I think not, but I am not sure.

I am thin on the details, I did this some years ago as a PoC.  Google should 
bring something up if you search for running remotely virtualized Windows 
applications with VirtualBox.
