1.1       root        1: .TH XNEST 8 "9 January 1986" "X Version 10"
                      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.
