Comment(by martin.langhoff):

 I agree, sad to need Xephyr.

 The hard reason is not the cursor but "shrinking" the desktop size. I
 expected that if I defined a Virtual that is smaller than the pixels of
 the monitor, X would make a "small desktop", maybe centered. It doesn't,
 it looks for a Mode that is <= than the Virtual, and freaks out if it
 doesn't find it.

 So Xephyr is my poor-man's way of shrinking the desktop (people at xorg
 lists haven't been able to suggest anything better). I don't think the
 perf impact is big (remove it to see) and it brings the nice cursor as a
 'nice to have'.

 Maybe we can push for a fix to X so that Virtual being smaller than X
 expects does something sensible, but that'd be far far away...
