Would it be possible to add a host/guest interface port, akin to how 
VMWare handles this?  It's a convenient way to get/set various 
properties from the host while running the guest operating system.  This 
also allows a smoother mouse interface - ie: auto capture/release of the 
mouse as it hits the screen boundaries, clipboard synchronization as 
well as synchronization of the guest's clock with the host's.

Some more info on the VMWare port is here:

Matt.
