This is an odd situation because it can be considered as a
feature-bloat. We already can do this only setting the DISPLAY
environment, so we really want a -display option inside the server? I
think not.

Skip mouse driver ;) I pushed a code of evdev to work against Xephyr
some time ago and it's working very well here. Did you cloned the last
fd.o git repositories?
You also mentioned something regarding -geometry. I heard from someone
that -parent and -fullscreen combo could be useful to do what you want.
The other option would be to use DevilsPie (but I never tested both).
So, you probably can set up a multiseat using Xephyr solution with
everything on upstream :)
