That's just a warning, you can safely ignore it.

You haven't run a window manager or anything inside your Xnest! :)
You've started an X server -- but an X server merely displays X clients,
things like your window manager and so forth.
If you'd gone to the console, and run "X :1", you'd see the same thing, only
in a real X server.
Try:
DISPLAY=:1 /path/to/my/window/manager
Or something similar.
