Xpra is like an invisible X server.  You start apps pointed at its
display number, and they run there, without mapping to your desktop
until you attach.  I used xpra along with xephyr for the window container
experiment a while back.  For xpra, basically it's:
(assuming DISPLAY :20).

$ xpra start :20 &

Then, say in a xephyr container, 

$ DISPLAY=:20 /bin something &
$ xpra attach :20

If you're remote, you can `ssh -X` and then run `xpra attach :20` and
the apps running on the xpra will pop over to your remote desktop.
Whenever you attach, it detaches any other connection.
