IIRC, SLES has options at install time, and one of those is Xen Host,
or Virtualization Server, or something like that.

If you choose Virtualization Server, no X is installed, and installing
GNOME won't do either... you have to install the entire X susbsystem.

I believe, and I could be mistaken because it's been forever since I
did any work with SLES and Xen, but the work-around we got from SuSE
was to install a regular server system, NOT the Virtualization Server
option or whatever it's called, and then add Xen in after install via
YaST.  That gets you a full GUI system and Xen.

HTH,

Jeff
