The demo CD comes with Enlightenment and Windowmaker. Documentation for
these window managers can be found on the internet.

The XenLinux kernel on the demo CD does indeed have LVM support, but if
you're going to be installing things on disk anyway I suggest you
install proper Xen rather than trying to run from the demo CD.

At the moment the only sensible place to run an X server is in dom0.
However, the demo CD has guest domains start Xvnc, so a VNC client
running on the X server in dom0 can show you the graphical output of
each domU. This is a little fiddly to set up but might be useful
depending on what you want to do.
Have fun experimenting with Xen.
