Why not use the xephyr in the repository?  (Sorry if I missed something 
earlier in the thread....)

Definitely a debian/ubuntu question, and getting off topic and out of my 
knowledge bounds, but you don't want to just ./configure - I think 
there's a dpkg-build (??) command that builds the proper deb for your 
system and installs it, and most importantly, registers it so that all 
the other programs know you have a functioning X.
