You mean Xnest? It's in the xnest package, folks. (xev is the X event

Description: nested X server
xnest an X server that is itself an X client. This allows you to run a server
within a server; this is occasionally useful for testing new window managers
and other X clients.

Xnest relies upon its parent X server for font services.
