I cannot test this, as the computer in question is put away under a desk
in a room I don't have access to, headless. Maybe related to
framebuffer, but you guys know much more about this than I could ever
help you with, especially as I cannot test.
Below I selected a few remarks that might or might not still be valid,
and would be nice if they were solved, but are all probably 'wishlist',
or 'minor' at max.
If you want me to split up this report and assign wishlists to
respective packages, please do tell.
