Just learned about #Xephyr for running a second x session inside the first one. Very cool. Can't believe I hadn't heard about it before now. Years and years ago, I used to routinely run a second session on vt8. Good for testing out different window managers or desktop environments or running things as a different user.
Using Xephyr to troubleshoot #stumpwm - it starts and exits / crashes immediately. Testing a few things, so not giving up hope yet.

オンライン勉強会などで画面?
?有する場合 Xephyr でメインと別の X server を起動してその画面を?
?有したりしています．
?
?れ子になった X の中でフルスクリーンにしたり，アプリケーションを切り替えたりしています．
しかし，小江戸らぐやオープンソースカンファレンスなどで利用しているビデオミーティングアプリの Zoom では画面?
?有時に Xephyr が出てきません．Chromium や Firefox や Electron アプリでは一覧に出てきて Xephyr の画面?
?有もうまく行きます．
仕方がないので Zoom での画面?
?有時は「画面の一部分」を使っています．
今回画面の指定領域を仮想ディスプレイとして利用できる clipscreen でかんたんに画面?
?有ができないか試してみました．

I now added a screenshot of #qXmoji on github. People need to see screenshots for some reason (I'm no exception) 😄
I wanted "default looks", so, disabled any #Qt theming and thought #fvwm3 with default config should be a very nice match for a tool targeting "plain #X11", and firing up a #Xephyr session, I was quite surprised how polished fvwm3's default config looks nowadays, even integrating #stalonetray when available 👍
I still prefer my custom config, but nevertheless, great job 🙂

I'm running a (heavily configured) #fvwm3 here. This screenshot was just for demonstration that #dos2ansi and #showansi don't depend on any configuration, so this was a completely unconfigured X session in #Xephyr, which by default runs #twm.
You can even see the test mode in #xterm can only use 8 colors (because this is what the default xterm #terminfo entry announces), still the #xterm windows launched by #showansi have full color support, they explicitly set the terminal name to "xterm-256colors".

It's #archaic #x11 application time!
This time, it's #xmcolor (the Motif Color Picker), written by Ti Kan. I believe this was written sometime in 1994. The embedded ident marker indicates: `@(#)xmcolor.c 1.11 94/12/05`
This was developed using Xt and #motif, and provides a means of mixing one's own colours, as well as using pre-defined colours from `rgb.txt`. One could then select the hexadecimal string for that colour.
It operates on 8-bit colour-depth displays only, which is why I have been running this inside #Xephyr so I can emulate this.
To this day, it compiles just fine -- only very minor tweaking from myself. Not bad for a program that's ~28 years old!
I really like how simple and self-contained so many of these applications were, and how much of a teaching aid it meant for someone to write them. The source file has 1066 lines in it -- quite a lot when you consider how much of that is Xt/Xm boilerplate.
These days, you'd just use a colour-picker from google without giving it a second thought. #x11cp
