OK, tuning this parameter is not obvious (setting it too low has many
strange effects such as virtual machines hanging and even the host OS
freezing) but now, I have: 

(dom0-min-mem 16)

And I can run two domU and my dom0 in my 192 Mb of physical RAM:

aslan:~ % sudo xm list                
Name                              ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State  Time(s)
Domain-0                           0       46     1 r-----   135.1
diggory                            2       64     1 ------    36.3
polly                              3       64     1 ------    32.3

Thanks a lot for pointing to that parameter.
