I landed a branch today that uses xvfb-run to reproduce the
above. It's just a thin wrapper around xvfb-run, but has your
suggested -ac and -screen args hard-coded in.

  bin/with-xvfb bin/py

It also adds two conveniences:

- It will search in the bin directory for the specified command, so
  the above can be contracted to:

    bin/with-xvfb py

  This could save dozens of keypresses per career.

- If no command is given it spawns a shell.

Let me know if this does the right thing for you.

Gavin.
