If you would like to run headless *and* have X Windows GUI applications
continuously running, perhaps you can use XPRA;
sudo apt-get update && apt-cache search xpra
get in the habbit of updating from the remote repository, that way you
won't end up trying to install old packages.
Anyhow, XPRA effectively allows you to connect to an X windows server
running in the background, that is not on the console. its a bit like
using ssh to connect to a remote linux box and running all your
CLI/terminal applications in screen or tmux. very handy.
