Ah, ok, understood. Of course, this is just a temporary measure so
that you can make it work in case Xvfb is missing.

IMHO, it would be helpful to find a solution that is as
platform-agnostic as possible. However, this is not a prerequisite,
since in the CI setup you can usually select an OS. If the test
comparisons only work under Linux (because it's the simplest solution,
the quickest, etc.), so be it.

Whatever fits best. Doing this investigation is part of the GSoC
