32 Xnest \- a nested X server
40 is both an X client and an X server.
42 is a client of the real server which manages windows and graphics requests on

50 appears to be a conventional server.

71 to synchronize its window and graphics operations with the real server.
80 to utilize full regeneration of real server objects and reopen a new connection
81 to the real server each time the nested server regenerates.
82 The sample server implementation regenerates all objects in the server when the
83 last client of this server terminates.
86 by default maintains the same top-level window and the same real server
89 connection to the real server will be regenerated for each server generation.
92 This option specifies the default visual class of the nested server.
112 The class of the default visual of the nested server need not be the same as the
113 class of the default visual of the real server, but it must be supported by the
114 real server.

125 This option specifies the default visual depth of the nested server.
126 The depth of the default visual of the nested server need not be the same as the
127 depth of the default visual of the real server, but it must be supported by the
128 real server.

382 does not propagate its font path to the real server.
385 Thus, if there is a font in the local font path of the nested server, there is
386 no guarantee that this font exists in the remote font path of the real server.
389 client, if run on the nested server, will list fonts in the local font path and,
390 if run on the real server, will list fonts in the remote font path.
391 Before a font can be successfully opened by the nested server, it has to exist
