Interesting; it was a Heisenbug, apparently. I cannot reproduce it anymore, 
but I've added code which at least prints out a warning if the Xvfb and/or 
openbox dies for some reason.

I believe that the CI system and the tests together should be designed to 
provide enough diagnostic information. If you as a developer say "I cannot 
reproduce it on my system, therefore I cannot help you", what can I do as a 
CI administrator to improve the situation? Should we perhaps reduce the 
number of CI-specific scripting to make the deployments closer to what the 
developers run? Would you like pre-built VM images?

Cheers,
Jan
