I don't have a manual entry for Xnest (nor xnest).  I just wonder how it 
happened by itself.

I run KDE with eight windows normally.  For some reason window number
two was a Gnome desktop.  Complete with my gnome background and gnome
desktop icons.  Also, when I left clicked on the window I got a gnome
menu. Panels were still KDE.

All other 7 windows were KDE.

After logging off later and logging back on it was fine with no gnome
anywhere.

First off, I didn't even know that was possible.  And, even though I saw
it - IS is possible?  Can I set it up to run that way? That is, have
some windows KDE and some windows Gnome?

Of course you can! X comes with a driver called Xnest which is both a client 
and a server for X that allows you to login to new sessions running as a 
window on your desktop. They could be anything from Gnome to Enlightenment to 
a basic twm session. The Xserver sees it as another user logged in (or it 
could be the same user) 
See :  man Xnest
