Hello, after some more testing I found the root cause why a Windows 7 HVM will always run in fullscreen mode under the tiling window manager i3wm. The following config line was used to move the windows VM to a specific workspace: set $workspace3 "3 Windows" assign [class="win7"] $workspace3
Problem: Windows 7 will not work in seamless mode with i3wm. When booting up the VM will always run in fullscreen mode. Root cause: having an "assign"-entry in your ~/.local/i3/config which can move a windows to a specific workspace/desktop will break seamless mode. Solution: Removing the configuration option in your i3 config. This will make seamless mode work with your win7 HVM and you'll get a windows in a tilinmg window manager. unfortunately you need to move windows manually to the desired workspace. This behaviour looks strange to me, so I name this a bug, but I am unsure if this is i3wm or Qubes related.
