You seem to have mailed half the lists on opensolaris.org, while missing
the one most relevant: xwin-discuss, where the people who actually worked
on Xvfb are found.

You shouldn't need to modify OWconfig at all for running Xvfb.

I've not seen that before, so I'm not sure what causes it.

don't know if that will work any better for you or not.
