Yes.

Does Xephyr even support GLX? From what I know, it hasn't supported it for a long time now. Ok I checked, it supports GLX, but only software rendering using swrast. Arch packages swrast in the libgl package, which conflicts with nvidia-utils. It's possible to use swrast with Nvidia's gl library though.

acording to this roadmap http://www.x.org/wiki/Releases/7.8
they will drop Xephyr. apart from that I won't split out libs any further.
