- I've noticed that if you just try to create an object for a windows program
- it won't run seamless. This is a real hassle when you're trying to create a
- template to run a program, since it inevitably ends up in a full screen
- session.

- Alternatively, if you migrate the application, you will get proper seamless
- support.
