You can't have your cake, and eat it...

Full screen mode exists for its purpose: Full Screen

You can't go about mixing one desktop with another inside a VM!

At most you can run it in windowed mode and get this similar effect. Or simply shift to a different workspace.

Seamless mode will do what the OP asks.

I know virtualbox and vmware support seamless mode.

How do you enable seamless with KVM?

From the usage pattern it appears that the OP is mistakenly using "KVM" when he actually means "VM". He should clarify the question.

It can be done for Windows applications: https://nowhere.dk/articles/running-windows-applications-natively-with-seamlessrdp but I don't think it can for other guest OSs. But the alternatives that you suggest sound perfect (and less messing about).
