that's what i kinda figured: that the solution would open up a larger
can of worms than the alternative.
not that i'm happy with it but it appears to be the simplest solution.
_another_ alternative which i don't believe offers _that_
much benefit is to run nomachine:
/etc/apt/sources.list -> deb http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/nx/slh-debian/ ./
then it'd be possible to turn the xen master domain into a thin client
and have kde / gnome / fvwm / whatever running in a guest domain.
... but nomachine is quirky to set up, even with the packages being
available at the above location.
