Right, so most smoke reports should skip it. But I know some cpansmokers use fake $DISPLAY's to have modules pass/fail. e.g. see my Tk::Clock based on Tk. (Feel free to steal from Makefile.PL).

Anyway, I tried to install all modules you mentioned. They all failed because of missing prereq's that are not mentioned in the docs. After I installed the missing tk packages (on OpenSUSE 11.3), I still got:

But I'm not interested enough to dig any deeper.
