Bug Description
xvfb-run fails to launch any more on karmic. Reverting the patch from 2:1.6.4-2ubuntu3 fixes the problem. This breaks any tool that uses xvfb-run during its build (like openjdk-6).
impact: tools needing xvfb-run will fail (e.g. openjdk-6 does not perform any testsuite runs)
addressed: refactored to correctly wait for xvfb execution.
patch: see attached
discussion: regression potential is low, since xvfb-run doesn't actually function in karmic.
TEST CASE: the follow command should report "0":
xvfb-run -a -e /dev/null -s "-extension GLX" true; echo $?
