On that subject, has anyone ever launched a VM directly from X? Or do I need to plan on making it something that runs after she logs into her KDE/Gnome session? So far I've only run VMs from inside of KDE. Although I don't see why I couldn't do it from a VT shell.
You need to create a new session .desktop file and place it in /usr/share/xsessions (potentially the FHS /usr/local/share/xsessions may work). Copy an existing one and point Exec= to your own script.
You script needs the following minimum contents: metacity & vm-kvm-what-command -fullscreen
You need a window manager to handle dialogs and metacity is the only sane way to go for this. It has only gconf and and glib as dependencies.
