Does x11docker depends on xorg? #471

Xorg is absent when you list your dependencies, so I do not include it into my .deb depends. But it sounds strange that a gui app can run without Xorg. This may cause problem if someone install it in the tty-only system. Please confirm for me.

Some points to consider:

So I would not declare a dependeny on Xorg. At most I would set X server nxagent to 'recommends'. With rather low dependencies it provides usability on most systems. (It is even useful in ssh -X setups.)
