Actually I just nuked my whole OS with Xen 3.0.2 and restarted with 
3.0.3 so I don't have the config files for XP any more but I didn't do 
anything clever in them. Now I'm on 3.0.3 I don't seem to be able to get 
XP to run (it crashes the domain at the "Starting Windows" part of the 
installer, but I haven't spent much time on this)
I have got HVMs of Ubuntu and IPCOP working though. The config files for 
them are just the example HVM config with the name and disc sections 
changed.
By frequency scaling do you mean Cool and Quiet? To be honest I've never 
even thought to look since I generally run folding at home which defeats 
its purpose.
