This has long been a challenge with FX. I even modified Glass/Lens to get a headless with a VNC option working on Linux & Mac (Windows probably needed a little porting). This has never been a priority though, only a casual hobby.

Daniel is working on a refresh of Glass/Lens that may make it even easier to do headless (as a side effect).

If there is any interest, I can provide more information on the current Glass/Lens headless.
