Hey, better late than never, right? (It's only been... 9 months or so
since the original question. :) Just in case you haven't found the
answer for this yet, yes you can do this. It took me quite a bit of
digging around to find it, but you can basically just run Xephyr with
the "-query somehost" parameter and a display name and off you go. In my
case, I'm connecting to a host named roosevelt over XDMCP, so I do:

Xephyr -query roosevelt :1

(You have to give it a DISPLAY value that isn't already being used, so
if you've already got two X sessions running (:0 and :1) you'd need to
use :2 and so on.)

And if you did already find the answer, well, hopefully this'll help
some other Googler in 9 months or so. :)
