For all the many problems with X11, it's still pretty cool that you can run something as complicated as Chrome in a headless manner just by running another program (xvfb) that speaks the protocol.
(I keep intending to hack Blink into a state where it can run truly headless, like a library, so that hacks like the above aren't necessary.)

Thanks for the comment. What's Blink? I don't think I've heard of it. I would love to learn more.
Chrome's new rendering engine, forked from Webkit.
Oh yes. Now i recall. Thanks for the clarification.
