        !             2: .SH NAME
        !             3: Xnest - Recursive X window system implementation
        !             4: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !             5: .PP
        !             6: This implementation allows you to run an X server in a window of another
        !             7: X server.  Full functionality is supported.  The number of planes provided
        !             8: by this pseudo-device is the same as the underlying device.  The cursor
        !             9: sizes, tile sizes, and brush sizes supported are also the same.  The number
        !            10: of color cells provided is specified with a \fI.Xdefaults\fP option.
        !            11: .PP
        !            12: Aside from being a good hack, this implementation exists primarily to aid
        !            13: system developers when debugging the device-independent portion of the
        !            14: server.  The debugging can be accomplished without requiring a second
        !            15: physical display.
        !            16: .PP
        !            17: Exposures on (and resizings of) the window are ignored, and so corrupt the
        !            18: "screen".
        !            19: .SH X DEFAULTS
        !            20: .PP
        !            21: Accepts the following defaults (for the program "X", not "Xnest"):
        !            22: .PP
        !            23: .TP 8
        !            24: .B BorderWidth
        !            25: Set the border width of the window.
        !            26: .PP
        !            27: .TP 8
        !            28: .B Border
        !            29: Set the border color.
        !            30: .PP
        !            31: .TP 8
        !            32: .B CellExponent
        !            33: If not set or set to zero, a monochrome psuedo-display is created.
        !            34: Otherwise, if a value of N is provided, specifies the maximum number color
        !            35: cells to be 2^N.  The number actually provided will be a power of two,
        !            36: but may be less than 2^N if allocation fails.
        !            37: .SH ENVIRONMENT
        !            38: Uses the environment variable ``DISPLAY'' to specify which display to use.
