I'm using VirtualBox for similar purposes: to migrate my desktop from
Windows to Linux.  However, my setup seems to be the inverse of yours:
Windows XP as host running VirtualBox version 1.5.0 with Ubuntu 7.04
as guest .

For me, to enable Ubuntu to run "full screen", I have to press the
RightCtrl+F and it does take up the entire screen: no border, no hint
of Windows.

Please let us know which of the suggestions posted works for you.
