sandbox screenshot

Description of problem:
No matter what window size is specified when running sandbox (-w resolution), the sandbox window always opens too small. When the window is manually resized, the text is so small it's impossible to read (see attached screenshot 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.15.0-15.el6.x86_64
policycoreutils-2.0.83-19.41.el6.x86_64
policycoreutils-python-2.0.83-19.41.el6.x86_64
policycoreutils-sandbox-2.0.83-19.41.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure you have policycoreutils-sandbox and policycoreutils-python installed
2. run sandbox -X -w 800x600 firefox

Actual results:
A small sandbox window opens (not the size specified as parameter) and all the text inside the window is too small to read.

Expected results:
A sandbox window of specified dimensions is opened and text size is normal and readable.

This problem is also easily reproducible with Xephyr alone (assuming it's used by sandbox anyway) - specifying the -screen parameter is ignored.  This works fine with Xorg 1.13 shipped in RHEL-6.5.

Pretty sure this is fixed by
