Nothing to do with vbox per se, but with a Linux host
I would think the vbox display window could be on a
(host) desktop by itself running fullscreen, and a hotkey
could be used to switch to another (host) desktop, as
long as vbox did not eat the hotkey.  Similar on Windows
if using something like VirtuaWin.  I have not tried it.  A
more brute force approach I used to use on Linux was
to have more than one X server running on the host,
and have one X server dedicated to use displaying the
guest; then I could use the regular Ctrl+Alt+F7 type thing
to switch from one X session to the other.  It was really
slow because of the mode-setting; I think the kernel
mode-setting changes to make switching between virtual
consoles in LInux fast is supposed to be coming soon.
