Accessing the domU via vnc/x-protocoll would allow usual programms to use, with the xen-gl forwarding from http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~andreslc/xen-gl/ you could start 3d-stuff in the domU and see it in dom0.

I saw the xen-gl stuff also some time ago. The only thing that''s unclear is how stable is it, and is it further developed. The page is lat updates in september. Also, I thought, for example when using bug prone and non-verifiable binary-only graphics drivers, it might be more secure to run them in a domU. For other Hardware there is the conecpt of driver domains. The XDMCP stuff works nice, only I don''t find a way to run this in full screen mode - this is easy with vnc, which in turn doesn''t offer a full x session login, and hs some color problems sometimes.
