As this is something I have been curious about...I considered doing this as a 
test to see what happened.. but at the time I started with LXC my goals and 
needs for LXC were and are still different... 

This brings up the LXC with X v. LTS type setup...

I currently use LTS setups for an organziation that basicaly replaces all the 
desktops from the LTS server... sort of back to thin client-esque systems....

I am curious as to how you use this setup....

Do you use the containers mostly remotely ie: XDMCP over SSH for WAN, XDMCP on 
the LAN, and what tasks your doing in these containters... other than the 
current issue.. any other isues... for the tasks your doing....

With a decent server this could be an interesting option to LTS setups... I'd 
like to hear more about your containers with X installed, please.

Thanks....
