Public bug reported:

If I run Xephyr with the --fullscreen option then the remote desktop is
put on :0 and the local desktop is moved from :0 to :1.

Normally I use only one local display at :0 that I can switch to by Ctrl-Alt-F7. After executing
$ Xephyr :1 -fullscreen -query remote_machine
the remote display appears on the current display (:0) and I can switch back to the local display by Ctrl-Alt-F8. Then there is the GDM login screen that shows that I am logged in but after typing the password I will be redirected to :0 where there is the GDM login screen of the remote desktop.

So I cannot log in to the local desktop (moved to :1). To get it back I
have to switch to a character terminal and to kill Xephyr. Then the
local display goes back to :0 as usual.
