Drone needs X support about ostinato HOT 11 CLOSED

Just FYI, there's an X wrapper called Xvfb that can be used to provide drone's 
needs and that way be able to run drone in a headless server.

Has this been fixed?  I can't seem to run headless unless I have an X server 
present.  Xvfb is not a good fix if I am using workstation with an X server 
already running.

Not to the best of my knowledge. If you already have an X server, then what's 
the problem  ?

The issue is when you fire the drone off (logged in via ssh -X you@address) via 
"nohup drone &" and then log out expecting it to continue running (but logging 
out for security) it dies.

And what would be the issue with running Xvfb in that case ? You may declare it 
as display 1 I guess, if it clashes with ssh's X proxy service...

It just acts as a Xserver if you don't have one right?   Therefore ssh -X and 
disconnect would result in the same I would assume.

Pushed a huge bunch of changes to change the framework to remove dependency on 
X and modified all protocols as per the new framework. ProtocolBuilderHOWTO 
wiki page and associated doxygen documentation also updated.
