That is not something we shall decide for you.
Yes, but indirectly Your decisions affects to my decisions. If xnee developers
decide that xnee switch "--offset X,Y" is bad/stupid/unnecessary solution
to this problem, I will delete my old recordings (where used windows, whose
initial position on the screen depends on screen resolution) which are
made in wrong resolution .

I would instead go for using Xephyr or Xnest and start them with your
preferred resolution and launch your apps and Xnee in the Xephyr/Xnest
"window".
Xephyr must be donwload by using cvs -client. Unfortunately our company
firewall is configured so that there is no hole for cvs access.
I used cvs -client in my home computer instead and get xserver source code tree.
Unfortunately I can't compile it, because I have't these files in my computer:
xdmcp.pc
x11.pc
randrproto.pc
I downloaded xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.2.src.rpm, which size is 55MB
After compiling rpm spource it, I got these rpm files:
xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.2.i386.rpm

xorg-x11-Xvfb-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.2.i386.rpm
"xorg-x11-devel..." and "xorg-x11-sdk..." are installed to my computer but
there is no "xdmcp.pc x11.pc randrproto.pc". Which rpm file contains them ?
I installed xorg-x11-Xnest-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.2.i386.rpm and after that
command:
Xnest :1
works fine.
But I did't success with "-geometry" -parameter.
Command: "history|grep geometry|wc" shows that I tried
47 different combination. For example:
DISPLAY=:1;Xnest -geometry 1024x768+0+0 -display :1
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.
I had to kill Xnest several times, because Ctrl+c did'nt work.
I think that there is something wrong in Xnest and so do
manual page for Xnee too:
"BUGS
Won't run well on servers supporting different visual depths. Still
crashes randomly. Probably has some memory leaks."
