Actually, it seems that it doesn't require Xvfb, or any other X server, |
| 21 |
after all. I just tried emerge gtk+ with USE=-X, and it works perfectly. |
| 22 |
It didn't emerge any X server, and it works just fine with all the |
| 23 |
programs I've tried so far. |

Does that mean that the virtualx eclass is unnecessary, and that I |
| 26 |
should file a bug report to have it removed? |
