Cacio-tta (probably) simple issue

[Emilian Bold]

I have no answer for you Scott, but do notice that yours is the first email
on the mailing list since 2016!

Not sure why you need Caciocavallo for headless GUI tests, we used to run
normal Swing tests on Linux with xvfb. Actually, we have multiple xvfb
instances running on the same machine so we could distribute tests among
them and finish the whole batch sooner (since, as you know, in many GUI
tests, you just wait and wait to make sure some button is visible so there
is no CPU usage).

PS: I assume your xvfb resolution is OK for your frames?
