oh cool - though that is a different matter imho - not "e5" related as that's
over in oregon (osuosl). :)

test suites will need to be able to RUN apps ans do things like screenshot.
exactness relies on this to replay recorded events then take screenshots for
comparison. sure - xvfb will deal with this too - just the same, but no distro
these days sets up x to listen on port 6000 anyway - so its local only (uni
sockets) so not a security issue anyway.. and its behind a nat anyway even if
it did listen on port 6000... but we would need a working x setup to do things
like test login sessions, entrance for example etc. and we can feed in events
remotely.
