== Using Xephyr ==
Xephyr gives you nested X windows.
First, install Xephyr on your host.
Start Xephyr
<pre>Xephyr -ac -screen 1280x1024 -br -reset -terminate :1 &</pre>
Change your display settings (don't forget to change them back after you establish a connection)
<pre>DISPLAY=:1,0</pre>
Forward your application or desktop over ssh to Xephyr
<pre>ssh -XfC -c blowfish user@server xfce4-session</pre>
If you use an alternate window manager, substitute "startkde", "gnome-session", "startfluxbox", etc. as needed.
