One problem I always had with this was the font sizes are really, really small in everything. I don't know if that's actually "correct" because our DPI is so high, or if something in the X -> Xephyr -> app pipeline is incorrectly interpreting the DPI. But making the apps actually readable would be a good thing to do.
