Just to add my 2 ¢ to Berin's explanation:
Xvfb worked for me: http://www.google.com/keyword/keyword/Xvfb
If you search the cocoon-users mailing list archive, I think there are some
other alternatives.
I probably have much less experience than Berin in these matters, but for
what it's worth, I found that I was able to get the .SVG examples working on
a headless Linux server by running Xvfb and setting the DISPLAY variable to
:0
Good luck.
