Hello Michael,
Progress! The seamless mode works and the auto-resize guest display also works. Just followed what you said and changed my .xinitrc file. The clipboard is not shared; or I don't know how to use. If I simply highlight text on the host and do ctrl-c (i.e. left ctrl) and then use the middle button of the mouse to paste into an xterm it does not work.
