<PRE>One final (?) tip for more general use, not tied to any particular
desktop; you could try Xephyr. I use it like this to start an LXDE
session in a new window on my desktop:
#!/bin/sh
Xephyr :1 -screen 800x600 -ac -br -dpi 96 &
sleep 2
lxsession -display :1
One caveat, I just discovered when pasting this back to a new shell
file to check it; I seem to have picked up some /r characters at end
of line from the browser and they needed to be cleaned from the shell
file.
Instead of lxsession you could use whatever you like to start another
window manager (kwin?) but changes you make to the Xephyr desktop will
be changes you make to your normal desktop, unless you take
precautions.
