 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.
