We talked about this a bit in the call today.
We'd like to find out how much work it would be
to add the extensions to Xvfb, and include our
own copy of Xvfb with the testsuite (that's 
something that already came up when people had
trouble over the backing-store issue).  We already
build an Xvfb in the lsbsi to enable testing, so
there's some precendent for LSB building their own
(if we add it to the test pkg we could drop it from
the si, which might make Marvin happy :-)
