Public bug reported:

Selenium tests by default need a display and a browser driver for setup.
If no display settings are provided then the native display is used.
But if you run the tests on Jenkins or on a Vagrant machine, you usually want to run them headless.

In the setUp method of the BaseTestCase class, we define the Selenium webdriver. Tests inherit from this class.
We can set an environment constant named WITH_DISPLAY to check, if we should start a headless session or not. 
The default value should be True, which means that we run the tests with head = display.
If is False we can use https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xvfbwrapper/0.1.2 to start a headless session.
