Somebody had to go to a lot of trouble. Does xnest actually work now? It didn't the last time I tried it (I forget the details; maybe mouse clicks were being lost). I got the impression that it wasn't used much and thus bugs weren't getting noticed nor fixed. On the other hand, I cpu to my main cpu server and start a rio there every day. Every new window I open in that rio is on the cpu server.
