I was trying to setup Yakuake to work with my recently installed system 
(R3.1)

I first tried to run Yakuake from Dom0 hopping to some how attach a 
terminal into one of the other VMs.
But since there is no net connection ssh is not an option. 
I tried using `qvm-run` but couldn't see any option to get console like 
connection into the running terminal
(It only opens `gnome-terminal` in a new window).
I managed to get a proper xen console using `xl console` but that gives me 
a login shell which not only be a bit annoying to login
but also won't allow me to open two simultaneous consoles to the same vm.

Next I tried running Yakuake from inside the VM this worked surprisingly 
well, getting the floating teminal panel and everything
Tranperancy didn't seem to work but thats not a major issue at the moment.
The main issue wa that the keyboard shortcuts didn't work outside Yakuake 
window (even from other windows of the same vm) so when
I used the shortcut to hide the window it was gone and there was no way to 
get it back into view.

I'm not sure which solution I prefer (they both have potrntial pros and 
cons) But I couldn't find any leads to how to get any of them to work
Intuitively I think that it would be easier to get the global shortcut to 
work inside the vm
I searched a bit online and couldn't find if there's a way to set global 
shortcut in dom0 that will passthroe or trigger a shortcut inside one of 
the VMs
I also couldn't find if there is a way to get ssh like session into a vm 
from dom0 shell
