Example embodiments relate to the display of operating status information in a remote desktop session. In example embodiments, a client transmits operating status information to a server via a remote desktop session established with the server. In response, the client may receive graphics information including displayed status information inserted by the server based on the operating status information. Finally, the client may output the graphics information on an available display. Other embodiments relate to a corresponding server and processing performed in the server.

Example embodiments relate to the display of user interface elements of a host operating system within a virtual machine guest operating system. In example embodiments, the host OS transmits information relating to a user interface element displayed within the host OS to the guest OS. The guest OS may then output a corresponding user interface element, receive input from a user interacting with the corresponding element within the guest OS, and return information describing the user input from the guest OS to the host OS.
