That is my experience too - I'm not 100% sure if that's intended or not.


However, I have also managed to "sink" the window in other ways (like on
machine0 you ssh to machine1, then ssh to machine2, do "xm create
windows" which pops up a window on machine0, then reboot machine1 for
some reason, and now machine2 has a running windows that you can't get
to the display of... Most annoying (and it doesn't take a reboot either,
just some sort of link loss...).
