-----------------

If you run Xephyr from inside the Scratchbox, it cannot access
the .Xauthority file in your home directory (on the host) so
that it could authenticate that you're the same user.

There are several different ways to get around this:
- Copy the ~/.Xauthority file to your Sbox home directory
- Use "xhost +localhost" outside Sbox
- Run your desktop X server without any access control using
  the -ac option (not recommended for obvious reasons :))
- Run Xephyr (which is inside Sbox) from outside the Sbox,
  this is easiest done with a script like at the bottom

The reason why Xephyr can connect your desktop X server from
inside the Sbox even with normal unix socket is that Sbox
shares the /tmp/ with the host system.  There's more information
about this on the Sbox site.

I think it's the most detailed explanation on this issue I have ever read on 
maemo lists ;)
