Right, you can't close the SDL window without killing the domU. 
However, if you really don't want to keep it open (minimize it even),
I'd suggest setting up the VNC console instead.  That way, you
wouldn't even have to have X running when you boot your windows domU. 
Then, if/when you need the "real" console, you can just VNC in from
whatever machine you want.

AFAIK, no, passing usb devices through to a vmx domU is not possible. 
This gets into DMA/memory addressing issues.  However, I'm certainly
not in a position to give a definitive answer on this :)  Maybe one of
the devs will chime in...
