Thanks a lot Old-Polack!, very clear instructions.
What a joy and what a difference, Now the Host, the Win 7 VM and the Linux VM looks very nice. Now I have to solve the issue with the Linux VM that do not allow seamless mode, but that has to be a Guest additions problem.
You saved my day   ;D

to use seamless mode, you must install Virtualbox guest additions from virtualbox, and not Synaptic.  The command to do this is Host + D (usually right-control + D), then drop to a command line and run it.  

su <enter root password>
sh VBoxLinuxAdditons.run

you will the need to reboot the vm when finished.
