That's a nice idea - the security extension stuff in X11 that we
support has never worked well with applications that people actually
use. 

Unfortunately, xephyr isn't widely deployed beyond Linux so we can't
count on it being there. Perhaps we could ship some scripts in contrib/
that simplify the use of xephyr with ssh for now?
