** Description changed:

  xvfb-run fails to launch any more on karmic.  Reverting the patch from
  2:1.6.4-2ubuntu3 fixes the problem.  This breaks any tool that uses
  xvfb-run during its build (like openjdk-6).
+ 
+ impact: tools needing xvfb-run will fail (e.g. openjdk-6 does not perform any testsuite runs)
+ addressed: refactored to correctly wait for xvfb execution.
+ patch: see attached
+ discussion: regression potential is low, since xvfb-run doesn't actually function in karmic.
+ TEST CASE: the follow command should report "0":
+   xvfb-run -a -e /dev/null -s "-extension GLX" true; echo $?
