This little goodie is useful for testing window managers.  Xnest is a
program that I believe is distributed with nearly every X distro.
It's basically an X client that also happens to be its own server.
This lets you run a completely separate X session inside of it,
without leaving your current X session.  Since the command line
arguments are annoying to type over and over again, and since getting
the programs started by hand always takes longer than it should, I
wrote this script to make life easier.

It expects the /usr/X11R6/bin directory to be in the PATH as well as
the eclipse script.  Other users may want to modify the FONTPATH that
is set in the script, since it probably won't be what they want.

There are lots of helpful comments.  Read the script if you're
interested.

Enjoy,
