Xephyr window placement (geometry support)?

HI
Does xephyr in any form support placement of its initial window to
some origin other than 0,0 (upper left corner)
I'd like to have something like -geometry +640+0 to place xephyr's
initial window to origin x=640 y=0? This should be done from gdm
This is for dual head support where we have just one big monitor for
2 users. On the big monitor I'd run hardware X server at resolution
1280x800 and on it I'd like to run 2 xephyrs each of size 640x800
one next to another, side-by-side (each xephyr with evdev keyboard and mouse)
For me everything works except that I cannot place second xephyr
at +640+0 origin (I tried option -origin 640 0 for the second xephyr but
its window still appears at +0+0 and covers first xephyr, this is on
xserver-xephyr 2.1.4 from debian)
Is there any (simple) way (env vars, anything?) that I can from gdm
place xephyr's initial window on different origin position?
Best regards, Davor
