Yeah, it seems like this is the way to go. I saw the xen-gl stuff also
some time ago.  The only thing that's unclear is how stable is it, and
is it further developed. The page is lat updates in september.

Also, I thought, for example when using bug prone and non-verifiable
binary-only graphics drivers, it might be more secure to run them in a
domU. For other Hardware there is the conecpt of driver domains.

The XDMCP stuff works nice, only I don't find a way to run this in
full screen mode - this is easy with vnc, which in turn doesn't offer
a full x session login, and hs some color problems sometimes.
