Description of Problem: if you try to execute redhat-config-xfree86 without a running xfs, the program exits with the following message: Couldn't Start X server, trying with a fresh configuration Error, cannot start X server. can we have the program exit with a more useful message if an xfs daemon is not detected? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-xfree86-0.6.6-1.noarch.rpm Steps to Reproduce: 1. stop xfs (if it is started) 2. try to run redhat-config-xfree86
Maybe the test config shouldn't even rely on xfs.
Still occurs on HEAD - investigating fix
