Consider your xen hypervisor just as other Linux. Treat as any other 
multi-boot case.
In my opinion, it's not very comfortable to perform tests while the 
regular desktop is unavailable (together with your reference notes, 
bookmarks and mail client). If you are limited to a single computer, two 
things may be done:
- Use nested visualization. As example, Xen hypervisor works great under 
VirtualBox, as far as you don't try to run HVM guests.
- Use the Dom0 itself as desktop. Not a good idea for production 
environment, but this is a test, after all.
