Can't do that. Xnest "inherets" the visuals of the X server it is running on,
which royally sucks. Unless if there's something I missed... That's why I
hacked up the Xfbdev server to "lie" on my laptop...

Should work. gdk-pixbuf does no rendering, it's all handled by gdkrgb. Gdkrgb
will handle strange bitdepths/masks. However, we might want to write an optimized
444 ditherer...
