vboxmanage startvm "virtual machine name"

change virtual machine name to name of machine you want and paste this


configure desktop > from task bar
system admin > srcoll down
start stopr program > click
add program > click
paste above

To determine the desktop that it will start on configure the window of the vbox to only start on that desktop

How about this approach>

Open Oracle VM Virtual Box Manager> at the top Machine> Create Shortcut on Desktop

open folder> /home/owner/.kde4/Autostart
and copy the shortcut from Desktop to Autostart folder.
