I hadn't heard of using it for multi-seat. It's basically a new xnest built
from kdrive.

Yes I am. xephyr, along with kdrive, was merged in to the mainline X.org
X server branch after 7.0. As a result, I'll just be building it as part of
the xorg-server package. I'm in the process of updating all the individual
components to the 7.1 release, so once I get the updated server finished
xephyr should be available.
