is what I needed in place of -geometry.

But I've run into a problem with Xephyr that doesn't occur with Xnest --
the keyboard characters are wrong if I am running a remote nested session,
but not a local one. It looks like someone else had this problem:


http://lists.apple.com/archives/X11-users/2007/Nov/msg00988.html

but I could not find a resolution.

There's an absolutely disgusting workaround:

http://lists.apple.com/archives/X11-users/2007/Nov/msg00513.html

specifically:

"I launched gconf-editor, navigated to "/desktop/gnome/peripherals/ keyboard/kbd" and added an invalid layout to the "layouts" key, I made sure that it was the only layout in the list. Now gnome starts smoothly on tightvncserver display, and my italian keyboard works as expected. When I launch gnome on local xfree servers it shows a couple of error box about XKB configuration errors, but apart from that, it appears to work correctly..."

(It appears tightvnc can exhibit the same problem.)

This does seem to work. I just put "Bogus" in there as a keyboard layout. Of course, as I was doing it via xdmcp I needed to type that in using the character viewer thingy.

Reading your post more carefully I'm not entirely certain this is the same problem, as I was also getting this problem on Xnest.
