Xdummy in place of Xvfb you mean?

Well, sort of, the support has been there for ages. Distros have now 
started shipping a version of Xorg recent enough so it is "only" a 
matter of packaging it properly. (detecting support, and using the right 
value for xvfb in the system wide config defaults)
I just wished they had installed the non-suid Xorg binary too...

Hah, let's follow this issue here:
https://www.xpra.org/trac/ticket/163

Is this really a problem? What apps/toolkits use this info rather than 
Xft.dpi?
