Possibly there is a weird interaction with the WM.  No WM settings
were given for the initial bug report.  Clearly, I can set the size
using the WM, but — oddly — only if I pass the option "-resizeable" to
Xephyr — if not, the WM settings have no effect.

With the TWM, the -screen option has no effect until I click on the
resize button.

Note that I did not have this problem with the previous version of
xorg (fluxbox 1.3.5 is more than a year old and all was fine before).
I will ask on the fluxbox list whether other people have the same issue.

Thanks for your answers,
