I'd try adding a shell script wrapper which just does: if test -z "$DISPLAY"; then exec xvfb-run /usr/libexec/foo/real-binary else exec /usr/libexec/foo/real-binary fi Then you just need a dep on xorg-x11-server-Xvfb Incidentally, I'd like to change the OS so that you *always* have a DISPLAY (and DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS), the first step of which would probably just be a pam_session module that asks ConsoleKit if your uid currently has a login, and if so pulls those bits in. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
