Sigh, why do people continuously reinvent tools and rename them? It just
doesn't make sense. (And, unfortunately, I would think that could be Xnest

DESCRIPTION
Xephyr is a kdrive server that outputs to a window on a
pre-existing "host" X display. Think Xnest but with support
for modern extensions like composite, damage and randr.
"kdrive server"??
