Replying to adrien:

I second this for VirtualBox 1.6.2 running on a Linux x86_64 architecture with nVidia drivers using a dual head setup (as configured by Sax). The problem is the following:
- When in dual head mode, Virtualbox works as expected on the primary monitor, seamless mode works. But on the second screen going into seamless mode mode causes the VM machine (Windows XP in this case) to be completely hidden from view, no previously opened applications are visible anymore. The easy solution is to leave seamless mode and move the window to the other screen, but it would be nice if one would have a choice as to what window is used.

I am experiencing the same.
VirtualBox 2.0.2 Windows XP Guest Gentoo Linux Host Nvidia 7800 GT 3200x1200 Resolution using twinview (no Xinerama)
VirtualBox functions flawlessly on both screens in windowed mode, but will only display on my primary in seamless mode.

I am having the same problem here.
Fedora 11 with Radeon HD 3650 using radeon driver x86_64 virtualbox 2.2.4.
I have tried enabling dual monitors in Virtualbox using the following
VBoxManage modifyvm <vmname> -monitorcount 2
Each time seamless mode is entered on the second screen the VM disapears, if i start seamlessmode on the primary monitor it works fine.
I would love to use seamless mode on my secondary monitor.
Thanks
The same with 1.5.2?
