Not true.  As others pointed out, the X libs make it possible to run the app
on the LSB compliant system but served by an X server on another machine.
And that other machine doesn't even have to be LSB compliant for it to work.

I suppose one could make the case that, if the ISV doesn't want to piss off
its customers, it should put something on the package like: "Runs on any LSB
compliant system. Requires XFree86 or an X server to use the GUI interface."
(Or something less geeky.)
