I sometimes have to do this too, and similarly realised that running two X servers on the same machine was rather difficult to get working. Based on a program called xsandbox, I created a little script xcage: http://tratt.net/laurie/src/xcage/ Nested X sessions can be a little buggy -- at least on the machines I've used them on -- but they're often better than the alternatives (e.g. VNC to localhost).
