Haha - I hadn't considered that. But I was told by colleagues who are 
reliable that it was done all on the local machine. I have had the 
later versions of the radeon driver in the kernel run the wobbly 
windows stuff and Xen at the same time. However, the radeon driver 
performance wasn't really usable. You could tell that the windows 
wobbled and the cube rotated, but it wouldn't impress anyone :-) (This 
was using Xgl and not aiglx, as all attempts with aiglx failed in Xen 
for me)

I would imagine an Intel adapter that works in a non-Xen kernel for 3d 
should work in a Xen kernel, but I'm not offering any guarantees 
either :-)
