Is there a template to make a qube that just runs as an X terminal?

Have you tried a minimal template?

If you turn on Qubes debugging for any AppVM it will start within a terminal window with a command line interface. If that AppVM has X installed you should still be able to start other apps that will appear in their own window.

Is this what you are looking for?

It does not sound like it. I'll have two machines, one running Qubes &
two monitors, the other headless. What I want is a qube that runs X
with all its client processes on the headless one. I know I can do
that with a full linux in that qube, but wonder how much that can be
stripped down in an X server. I do not need that qube to do anything
except handle display for the headless machine.
