So, I hacked up something in the latest 1.0-beta-2-SNAPSHOT of the
selenium-maven-plugin. Its deployed, and some site docs updated.

headless-with-xvfb.html
Still needs more meat, but I wanna make sure it works before I
start investing in more docs.
But basically, you need to configure an execution *before* start-
server, for xvfb. It will be default background, etc. See the
goal doc for more details:
http://mojo.codehaus.org/selenium-maven-plugin/xvfb-mojo.html
Currently it will default to using DISPLAY=":1", not sure if that
is correct or not. Then it will fork an Xvfb process, write out a
target/selenium/display.properties file, which has the DISPLAY= in
it. And I updated the start-server goal to look for that file, and
if it exists set environment variables for each key/pair in that file.
I think that should be sufficient to get headless muck working...
though I've not tested any of it ;-)
I think you will need to make the Xvfb process suid, as in:
chmod u+s `which Xvfb`
This puppy needs to be run as root, or at least AFAIK it does.
Anyways, give it a shot and lemme know how well it works, or if it
works at all. I will be around tomorrow to fix it up as needed.
Maybe my network will be stable then so I can run some tests on the
gbuild.org systems and better see how well it works out.
Aighty?
