RichFaces tears down server on Unix without X-server running
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RF-9813
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/RF-9813
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 4.0.0.Milestone3
         Environment: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 5)
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.1-b03, mixed mode)
apache-tomcat-7.0.4
RichFaces 4.0.0.20101004-M3
Mojarra JSF 2.0.3-FCS 
            Reporter: Karl Mueller
            Priority: Critical


Running an application using RichFaces 4 M3 under RHEL with no X-server running causes the server to crash.
Apparently RichFaces tries to connect to the X-server on container startup and then terminates when there is no X-Server present :

excerpt from catalina.out:
INFO: Creating LRUMap cache instance using parameters: {org.richfaces.skin=plain, javax.faces.PROJECT_STAGE=Development, org.richfaces.enableControlSkinningClasses=true, org.richfaces.enableControlSkinning=false}

INFO: RichFaces Core Implementation by JBoss, a division of Red Hat, Inc., version v.4.0.0.20101004-M3 SVN r.19446
X connection to localhost:11.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

Attempts to start other x applications, e.g. xclock fail with the same error msg "X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)."

I am connect to the Unix machine via Putty with X11 forwarding enabled. 

When I start an  X-Server on my local Windows machine the problem does not occur and the application is running smooth.
