Description

A nested X server can be launched as an X application to run another X session inside the current one. This is useful for legacy testing, remote display experiments, or debugging older X11 behavior.

Nested servers are test tools and can be confusing if input or focus is captured unexpectedly. They do not replace a security sandbox.

How to run
