So the "Xvfb" (virtual frame buffer) will do very well.
Yep, Xvfb was the name of the dummy X server that I was talking about. Thanks. >From a 'headless server' point of view, the reliance on X means that the server admin must now install X on their server so that they can run Xvfb. Not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but still annoying if you've made the assumption that you don't need X at all. AFAIK it's impossible to avoid the X dependency on Java image libraries that use any of AWT. > Albert -- !
