Xpra is a window manager, Xephyr is a display manager. Window managers operate on top of a display manager and do not deal with devices.
Xpra uses Xvfb or Xdummy, one can use Xephyr with Xpra to get full screen sessions ala VNC, but that's a completely different use case. > One thing Xephyr has is the ability to > have devices from evdev (/dev/input/) assigned to a particular instance of > it, so one mouse and one keyboard only send information to that one Xephyr > session.
