I've told you what is in the .deb, but I don't think that's what you're asking. You're saying, "How do I know this file isn't going to trash my system?" Fair enough, I did say it was my first .deb...

The .deb is just an installable version of the files I said you needed to get MicroB running in KDE:
  • Xephyr binary
  • Two pixman libraries
  • two bitmap font files
  • a hacked fonts.alias & fonts.dir with only the two bitmap font files listed
  • wmctrl for changing the window title from "Xephyr" to "MicroB"
  • my kbrowser script that starts Xephyr, matchbox, sapwood, and MicroB then changes the window name
  • A .desktop file for KDE

I have attached a .tar.gz file with everything but the huge Xephyr binary, so you can see what is in my .deb.

You can't resize a Xephyr window, as far as I know... wmctrl in my package is for renaming the window.
