    <h2>About</h2>
      <p>
        Xoo ( formally matchbox-nest ) is a GTK2 based graphical wrapper around a 'Windowed' X Server. It is
        intended for embedded developers that want to simulate a target device
        (with an accurate display size, working hardware buttons, etc) on a
        desktop machine.
      </p>
      
      <p>
        The size of the embedded X server, and the image around it, are
        themable by the user.  The default theme is based on a Compaq iPaq,
        and supports the hardware buttons.  Creating new themes is done by
        writing a single simple XML file.
      </p>
      
      <p>
        The embedded X server can either be <tt>Xnest</tt> (XFree86/X.org) or <a
        href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fXephyr"><tt>Xephyr</tt></a>
        (kdrive).  The advantage of using <tt>Xephyr</tt> is that it supports
        the newer X extensions such as Render, RandR, Composite, and Damage;
        allowing you to test applications using these extensions even if your
        native X server doesn't.  Xoo can also send a signal to
        <tt>Xephyr</tt> so that it will highlight the region it is painting, to
        help debug redraw problems.
      </p>

      <p>
      Xoo is authored by Matthew Allum and Ross Burton. It is free software, available under the GPL.
