I do almost all my computing through Xpra these days. Being able to combine windows seamlessly from multiple VMs is a much more usable way to segregate workloads, and Xpra doesn't suffer from the same security (and increasingly compatibility) issues of X forwarding.

Same here. I wish I could do the same with a Windows VM and a remote MacOS host.

Have you heard of any such solutions?

There used to be a hack for getting integrated windows using Remote Desktop, but I can't remember the name of it anymore and Google isn't finding much :( Hopefully someone remembers (and it's still maintained).

Edit: Found it: https://github.com/rdesktop/seamlessrdp. Seems like there are probably more modern solutions now though.

IIRC WinSwitch + xpra could do seamless windows: http://winswitch.org/documentation/faq.html#protocols http://winswitch.org/about/ :

> Window Switch is a tool which allows you to display running applications on other computers than the one you start them on. Once an application has been started via a winswitch server, it can be displayed on other machines running winswitch client, as required.

> You no longer need to save and send documents to move them around, simply move the view of the application to the machine where you need to access it.

Wikipedia/Neatx links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remmina (C) :

> It supports the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), VNC, NX, XDMCP, SPICE, X2Go and SSH protocols and uses FreeRDP as foundation.

But no xpra, for which Neatx has old python 2 scripts.

I had good results using Remmina (https://remmina.org/) for RDP to a Windows host from a Raspberry Pi. The only thing that let it down at the time was a lack of "clean" multi-monitor support. I'm not sure if it's been improved in the year since I last tried, but you could fudge that by creating a single window that was 2x monitors wide.
