I'm using the Xvfb from XFree86 as a dummy server for regression testing

for what it's worth, I've also noticed wine apps killing Xvfb. This was

We ended up changing from Xvfb to vncserver, both for this reason and
because an error condition can require user intervention with our wine app.

I believe that if the laptop can support two monitors,
