[maemo-developers] Xephyr Maemo VMware

I've been trying out the VMware image, although i guess this question 
could relate to any installation. I'm trying to get both 2.2 and 3.1 on 
the same scratchbox to work properly. The rootstrap seems to have 
installed fine and i can log in and compile programs in the 2.2 SDK, 
however the xephyr that is started automatically in the VMware image 
doesn't seem to support the 2.2 framework - the desktop doesn't render 
properly and the menu system doesn't work. I realise now that each SDK 
comes with its own Xephyr so I'm trying to start xephyr from the 2.2 SDK 
using:

#!/bin/sh
prefix=/scratchbox/users/maemo/targets/SDK2.2_PC/usr
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${prefix}/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
exec ${prefix}/bin/Xephyr :2 -host-cursor -screem 800x480z16 -dpi 96 -ac

which seems to start up Xephyr, however the usual grey background is 
white (before af-sb-init..sh start) and when i try af-sb-init.sh it 
fails with:

....
Starting Keyboard
maemo-launcher: invoking '/usr/bin/hildon-input-method.launch'
maemo-launcher: child (pid=6199) terminated due to signal=11
/usr/bin/af-sb-init.sh: line 1: 6198 Segmentation fault    (core dumped) 
$CMD $PARAMS
Starting MAEMO AF Desktop
maemo-launcher: invoking '/usr/bin/maemo_af_desktop.launch'
maemo-launcher: child (pid=6216) terminated due to signal=11
/usr/bin/scratchbox-launcher.sh: line 114: 6215 Segmentation fault   
(core dumped) $CMD $PARAMS

Am i not supposed to use the 2.2 SDK Xephyr in which case can someone 
tell me how to get the Xephyr bundled with the VMWare image to work with 
2.2. Or can someone explain what i'm doing wrong when invoking the 2.2 
SDK Xephyr.

Thanks

Andrew
