using xvfb instead of a gui display

[Hart Larry]

Well, first, one of our LUG members figured a way for me to hear streams which 
are flash or otherwise not a regular playlist type. Here is an alias
xvfb-run /usr/bin/iceweasel --display=:99 -P nullvideo
Sure there are many times I would love to interact, but I have never been able 
to get used to Orca. But also, there is a "wb" project, which I would love to 
install, however, another LUG member was not happy that you need to install as 
root. Also he says it doesn't use auto tools, so exactly what are easy steps of 
installing "wb"? Thanks in advance
