Title:
  Integrate Virtualbox/Qemu Guest booting as a desktop environment
  listing (request)

Status in Light Display Manager:
  New
Status in Greeter:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I had seen this new way to install Chromium OS and "boot" it using
  LightDM's session select menu, and it made me think of an idea:

  What if you were able to boot virtual machines in the same manner? It
  would simplify the Ubuntu user's life GREATLY if they had easy access
  to a Windows VM that can synchronize their files to and fro (Guest
  additions) and not require a reboot to use it. Modern computers have
  more than enough power to do something like this, and it should be
  even easier if the system is using a dedicated virtual machine
  environment rather than a full blown desktop.

  This can transform LightDM from being just another login screen to a
  full-blown glorified host for all of your operating systems and remote
  logins.

  I think this would make using Ubuntu a LOT less of a hassle for the
  new user who came from Windows :)
