What about using an uml wrapper + vncserver? This would give you a complete
virtual environment, and if you can make uml suspend-to-disk, you've got
most of it. (I admit I never tried uml, so this is just a guess.)
Off cause the network connections will still time out etc etc, but that's
nothing you can do about that.
