The best workaround I have come up with so far is to use SSH X11 tunnelling to forward the Xephyr running on the VM to my host. So I run Xephyr like:
Code:
ssh -X maemo-desktop 'xauth add :1 . `mcookie` && Xephyr :1 -host-cursor -screen 800x480x16 -dpi 96 -ac'
Then in the scratchbox (also running on the VM) I just "export DISPLAY=:1". So apps will draw to the Xephyr on the VM which it tunnelled though to my host display. Convoluted, but it seems to work.
