Description

A nested X server can run inside an existing X session from a Git build. This is useful for testing X11 clients, desktop sessions, display behavior, or current Xephyr changes without replacing the main session.

Nested servers are good test tools but not strong security sandboxes. Input focus and window visibility can still be confusing during experiments.

How to run

Xephyr

Commands: Xephyr
