I forgot, with a Xnest, you can have an internal display of the size you
want, in which to put the preview (and hopefully a lightweight window
manager). This can at least force a smaller preview window (using
-geometry option of Xnest).
You can of course use geometry of Xnest to generate a window/Xserver
bigger that your actual display, but without scrollbar (or wrapper
)(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=903 ) you won't be able
to access more than a part of it.
