No, I cannot reproduce anymore. I'm not sure about the last, it could
more be related to the following bug in fakeroot [1]?

I suggest we can close this bugreport now.

p.s.: for libwx-perl we invoke xvfb-run with -a to get a free server
number, this solved in past some other FTBFS [2], as pygtk uses

	-s "-screen 0 1280x1024x24 -noreset"

this still could happen.
