I'd like to run windows xp on RDP:

$ VBoxManage modifyvm winxp32 --vrdeport 3389
$ VBoxHeadless -s winxp32 -v on
Oracle VM VirtualBox Headless Interface 4.1.18_Debian
(C) 2008-2012 Oracle Corporation

(waiting)

in another window:

$ telnet localhost 3389
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Yes, I've read about extension:

$ sudo VBoxManage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.20-80170.vbox-extpack
0%...
Progress state: NS_ERROR_FAILURE
VBoxManage: error: Failed to install "Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.20-    80170.vbox-extpack": Extension pack 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack' is already     installed. In case of a reinstallation, please uninstall it first

Looked through all manuals and all help requests. No success. What's wrong? Any ideas?
