Seamless mode

Hi, I'm sorry if this has already been asked. The list archives on
sourceforge are horrible to navigate and I could find no search
function.

I am trying to run rdesktop in seamless mode for a Windows virtual
machine running on kvm. What I am trying to accomplish is to run
Photoshop and the Windows Messenger in my kde desktop as normal
windows, without having them inside a virtual machine window taking up
a lot of screen space. I installed the seamlessrdp shell, and I'm
trying to run this from my debian host console:

rdesktop -A -s "c:\seamlessrdp\seamlessrdpshell.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\taskmgr.exe" terribus:3389 -u [user] -p [password]

What I get is a window showing me the full desktop. According to the
man page and the site I got the instructions from
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SeamlessVirtualization), I should
have just gotten the taskmgr.exe program window, not a full desktop,
which is what I'm trying to avoid.

Maybe I've got this all wrong, but I've noticed that every time I get
stuck like this there's some obvious little thing I am missing, so
obvious that nobody even mentions it. Is there something I should be
doing? Is it a problem with kvm or qemu? Does this only work with
VirtualBox?

Thank you for your help!
