           Summary: /usr/bin/dogtail-run-headless - fails on FC5 - make the
                    script distro-aware or just document?

          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal

Please describe the problem:
/usr/bin/dogtail-run-headless - fails on FC5 - make the script distro-aware or
just document?

In order to run in headless mode on FC5, this line in dogtail-run-headless:
xinit -- /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1024x768x24 -fbdir /tmp :1

Must be changed to:
xinit -- /usr/bin/Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1024x768x24 -ac -noreset -shmem

Also - although it seems obvious in retrospect, headless mode must be run from
the console, not from within a GNOME session. If you do try to run it from
within a GNOME session, this error results:  'I've detected a panel already
running and will now exit.'



Steps to reproduce:
1.

Does this happen every time?
