Is there a seamless mode for XEN like the solution for VirtualBox?
UPDATE: under e.g.: having Ubuntu 11.04 as dom0. With seamless mode I mean to integrate the guest vm's window[s] to the host's GUI.

As far as I know, Xen does not have a seamless mode.
You didn't mention which guest you want to run seamlessly, but if it's windows, you might be able to get a similar functionality (non-local apps appearing to run locally) by using Windows Terminal Services and RDP.
See http://www.rdesktop.org/ and http://www.cendio.com/seamlessrdp/
If you want to run some other guest, then I believe you have fewer options (none that I'm aware of).

The same thing could be accomplished using X window forwarding or NX if the guest was *nix.Caleb– Caleb2011-06-04 08:38:04 +00:00Commented Jun 4, 2011 at 8:38

@Caleb - you're absolutely right. I completely forgot about X forwarding.Bill B– Bill B2011-06-04 14:25:23 +00:00Commented Jun 4, 2011 at 14:25
Bill B mentioned Terminal Services / RDP as a way to do this with windows guests. You can access just a single window and so easily mix and match windows on your primary desktop by using a network connection and a display protocol instead of the graphical XEN display.
The same effect can also be done even easier for *nix clients by using X-window forwarding.
