Also interesting are solutions using xpra, especially when are working over a remote connection. In this case you are not running X on the Mac, but a xpra client (a simple app).
There is also the possibility of installing a VNC server inside the container and a desktop environment, then connecting to that. I did this when I wanted MonoDevelop on my Mac without having to install the mandatory 3-5gb of "Xamarin Studio" mobile emulators etc. Btw thanks for the link back to xpra.
