Regarding Xephyr

[Riza Dindir]

Hello All,

I want to use Xephyr to test out an x application.

For starters I wanted to learn how to use Xephyr. Here is what I did.

I started xephyr on display 1 like so (Xephyr :1 -screen 800x600). The
window opened where the background is black. Then ran (DISPLAY=:1
xsetroot -solid white) to change the background color. But when I set
the background to white, the background does not stay white. It
changes to black within 1 second.

Is this default behavior? Why can't I set the background color on a
Xephyr window?

Kind Regards,
