Many of the errors don't seem to be connected to X, like the "missing 
/bin/bash" in darktable.

There are several haskell and kde failing packages which AFAIK fail in 
master as well. The rest will probably be caused by gtk update (like 
xfce48.gvfs) and most likely only need to be updated to support it.


I agree we now need to test by running and using the programs.
