I run the setup program on my headless backend all the time. I just ssh 
into it from my frontend and run setup. The setup program is displayed 
on the frontend using X but is actually run from the backend and 
modifies the backend's settings. If you have a headless backend then 
you must have a frontend running on X, unless it is on OSX then I don't 
know.
