Very cool. If anyone is wondering if there's an easy way to run it
without clobbering your existing X session, here's how:

  $ Xephyr -ac -noreset -screen 800x600 :1 &
  $ DISPLAY=:1.0 racket rwind.rkt &

which runs rwind in a nested X session. Make sure to copy the config
file (see github page).

Cheers,
Asumu
