Please note that there's no requirement on an LSB system to provide an
Xvfb, we only need one to enable the test for certain library
functionality, so it's perfectly alright from a compliance viewpoint to
use a non-standard copy of Xvfb to run the tests as a result. The backing
store stuff also has an x.org fix (a trival one-liner), a reference to the
x.org bug is in our testing wiki.
