You won't be able to run all hardware devices in a domU. even in dom0
you are and will for some more time, be missing "classical" hardware
functions often wanted in a desktop machine like powersaving and
suspend functionality.(o.k. therefore you probably will  be able to
use xen vm save/restore instead of suspend, I guess).

As said in another reply, X in domU is also a special topic. Search
the archives for stuff like pci passthrough, direct hardware access in
domU and things like that.
