Im running the 5111.... "Cap the log size at 10 MB" commit which is the
child of d4c45...
The behavior is a bit strange and varries a lot depending on how the xephyr
is terminated.
I mostly have success with a double CTRL+C in the terminal that open
xephyr, a single CTRL+C will not do it.
That is to run xephyr i open a terminal and type
./Downloads/qtile/scripts/xephyr
And I succesfully kill the machine with a double CTRL+C in the terminal.
If I use Qtile to kill the Xephyr window using a MOD+W, python goes
bananas. The terminal output is something like:

and keeps looping for all eternity.
I don't know if it is woth the time to look into this issue.
I fixed the problem of passing commands by actually getting the xephyr to
capture all input using
CTRL+SHIFT. It says so in the title of the virtual window :)
