So you boot into Ubuntu which then loads the HDDs OS in a VM? What do you use to do this?

Yup, using KVM / Virt-Manager, "Create VM" -> "Use existing disk: /dev/sda" -> "Run". Aside from X getting confused, which was easily fixed [1], everything Just Worked. SSHFS is used so that I can edit code from the native desktop and run it in the VM.

[1] it had the nvidia proprietary driver hardcoded in xorg.conf -- with a blank config, Xorg correctly auto-configures the neuveuo(sp?) driver when it's running natively and the emulated card driver when running in a VM.
