== 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.
