Will this be making it into the product soon? I didn't see it in 4.2.1?

Thanks,
Steve

Yes, made couple of serious attempts on it, but had to revert both. Didn't know Linux and MacOS are that different. Perl for the rescue, but for 4.2.2.

Unfortunately, the xvfb trick will not work for MacOS at all. The "Xvfb" server works fine on MacOS, but MacOS uses different window manager - XQuartz. And all native macos apps, including browsers uses xquartz (basically ignores the DISPLAY variable). I could not find any docs about having the same feature for xquartz.
