I cannot run gnome-shell 2.29.0 in Xephyr on Mandriva Cooker. I get this error:

When I use the --xephyr option to gnome-shell, I get a black window and this error:

gnome-shell: remove Xephyr support

Built-in Xephyr support was an important debugging/development feature
for a while, but it is no longer especially useful (and has been
mostly broken since Clutter 1.4 anyway).
