Yeah, that's actually worked for a while. I just haven't gone out of my way
to publicize it.
This is how to do it:
Install the X clients in your favorite user-mode root filesystem. Make sure
you get Xnest.
Boot it up and bring the network up if it isn't already.
If necessary, xhost the virtual machine on the host.
In the virtual machine run 'DISPLAY=host:0 Xnest &'
You'll get an Xnest window, and you can then set your DISPLAY to :0 and run
whatever X clients you want. What I normally do is 'DISPLAY=:0 fvwm2 &' That
gives me a window manager and enough of an environment to do what I want
without needing to go back to the console.
This is a rerun url (I ran it last week as a demo of the virtual network), but
have a look at http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/net.html. It's a
screenshot of a virtual net, but Xnest is also involved.
