Re: xvfb issue for lsb-vsw4

Hi,

Hi cannot find a clear followup on this, so my question is:
The problems 85 thrugh 87 have been rejectd. Does this mean that
we decided to allow implementations, which comes without Xvfb or
with an old/not working one, to use another Xvfb implementation?
Or how should this be resolved?
I know for the future we plan to ship our own Xvfb with the test
suite, but as far as I can see we don't do that today.

 Thanks,
   Thorsten
