I would suggest creating another xephyr script that launches xephyr on
a different display ( exec ${prefix}/bin/Xephyr :3 -host-cursor
-screen 800x480x16 0dpi 96 -ac ), or alternatively write a script that
takes the display as a parameter.

After starting xephyr, did you set DISPLAY to :2 in your shell?
