Using the Other OS Type is a solution since it will install the VM in HVM mode rather than PV mode. A VM in HVM mode has more emulated hardware, including a virtual video card so X can work, but with Linux VMs there will be other limitations (mainly related to performance).
This exact same problem happens on XenServer with Linux VMs when using the correct template, but XenCenter tries to hide it. VNC will be installed and configured in the VM and XenCenter will connect to it instead of the serial console for the VM at the hypervisor level.
