Description

A nested X server can run as an X application from a Git build of Xnest. This is useful for testing older X11 behavior, remote display assumptions, or nested session workflows.

Nested X sessions can capture focus and make input behavior confusing. Use them for testing, not as a security boundary.

How to run

Commands: Xnest
