May I ask which caveates you have in mind? Because I want to run
xserver on the same vserver-guest, and did not find it listed
in "Problematic Programs"...

VMware is listed in "Problematic Programs" with this info:

So probably it could run. And I suppose VMware/workstation is
not much different from VMware/server. Anyway I would be pleased
to hear someone having personal experience with any of those two
(Wine or VMware/workstation)...
