I spent some time setting up a Debian "sid" virtual machine.  I didn't
get the above error, but I did get another one caused by a missing line
continuation in runtests.sh.  I've fixed that in SVN trunk and the tests
are now running for me :)

I have one issue, though:  headless support.  I wrote runtests.sh to
look for Xvnc in /usr/bin or /usr/bin/X11 (old).  I couldn't find either
of these binaries in a Debian package.  I did, however, find Xvnc4.
This seems to work, but I can't make vncviewer on the same Debian system
connect to it.  I _can_, however, make my Fedora vncviewer (supposedly
tigervnc from http://www.tigervnc.com) connect to it via ssh.

I would really appreciate someone from Debian taking a look at this.
Feel free to add Xvfb as an option if that works or whatever you can
make work.  As long as there are instructions on what packages are
needed and how to connect with vncviewer to watch them in case they're
stuck or something.  I've filed a bug to track this:

Another issue I found is that I don't think the internal SWT browser is
working.  I get white background welcome screens which is a sign that
it's not working.  Is there some sort of LD_LIBRARY_PATH mucking we need
to add somewhere?  Perhaps a patch to SWT to make it look in the right
place?  I can't imagine it just _doesn't_ work on Debian unstable so
maybe it's my virtual machine?
