The naming of these binaries is up to you of course but for me 'swin' = switch to win and 'slin' = switch to linux. The downside of the 'slin' method is that you might need to SSH using putty to the host from the guest to run it (I do this currently). A simpler option would be a hardware USB switch in my opinion but this method is quite elegant in it's simplicity.

What happens if the guest crashes? Is the host left without a mouse or
kb?
