I finally tested it yesterday, you were right that I was misinformed
about how X actually works.
What I did is quite easy:
I have a full blown X Server on the host machine
Customer connects to it using vnc
You can now simply open a shell on the Desktop, tweak X auth (xhost +)
and than change into the guest using "vserver guest enter". Now setting
the DISPLAY to <public ip>:0 and installing just some X client libraries
inside the guest does the job...
