Zack, thanks for the reply. I'll take your last reply first ;)

"As for the issues in the mail, I believe they're all fixed. I'm not sure about
the XFS problem; you'd probably want to ask an X person."

Arguably as this is all contained within the dogtail-run-headless script, it is
more our issue, the users and the developers of dogtail. Fact is, on a true
headless system, dogtail-run-headless does not work at all. It requires more
setup. Right now dogtail-run-headless works on a system with X + Display, but
it does not draw to the display. 

Stepan had a theory that might work on a true headless system, and I have CC'd
him to the bug.

The second issues:

You are right, setting the +x bit works in the  -n mode, like so 

dogtail-run-headless -n ./gedit-test-utf8-procedural-api.py

however, using -g still spawns:

[root localhost examples]# dogtail-run-headless -g
gedit-test-utf8-procedural-api.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/dogtail-run-headless", line 188, in ?
    try: exitCode = main(sys.argv)
  File "/usr/bin/dogtail-run-headless", line 151, in main
    xinitrc.write('cd %s && dogtail-detect-session && sh -c "%s"; echo -n $? >
%s\n') % (os.getcwdu(), script, exitCodeFile)
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for %: 'NoneType' and 'tuple'

    os.remove(exitCodeFile)
