A very requested feature for Xephyr-based multiseat setups is the
capability to put Xephyr windows at a given place. There was a historical
controversy about providing a -geometry option to Xephyr
6~7 years ago (see bug #12221), but now this feature is much easier
to implement and maintain than in that time. In the absence of such an
option, one must have to do some tricks to get Xephyr windows in the right
positions, like launching another geometry-friendly X window and putting
Xephyr on top of it with -parent option.

  kdrive: add support to +X+Y syntax in -screen option parsing
  ephyr: enable screen window placement following kdrive -screen option
    new syntax
