I think the best idea would be to have a backend daemon on Dom0, to 
which such a tool can connect to.  However, at this early stage of 
development, I think making it an X11 client is acceptable.  Plus, who 
is saying the X server would run in the Dom0, you can run the 
application over the network onto a remote X11 Server.
Also, if you look at the tool more closely, it only works with 
file-backed DomU.  This is clearly not yet a production-ready tool, but 
as it is today, it might be good for home users looking to play with 
Xen.  Home users, by the way, have been setting up X11 servers in their 
Dom0 -- for better or for worse, they're doing it.
