Must have a valid X Window Session!?!?

Hi!

I recently discovered that if you're about to use the BufferedImage-functionality in the standard Java SDK (1.4.1) then you must have a running X-Window session which the SUN-classes connects to when your create your BufferedImage.

Why is that?

I'm running Java on our Linux-server and does not want to have an unecessary X-Window session running just to be able to create BufferedImages in memory.

Have anyone else discovered this?
