------- Additional Comments from Adrian Perez <aperez at igalia.com>
It looks like sometimes PulseAudio and/or Xvfb in the GTK+ build slaves
decide to die and they need to be restarted [1]. In the  build slaves
which we have running those services (plus a crash dump grabber, and
Buildbot itself) are run under control of DJB's daemontools [2], which
takes care of restarting services automatically when they die.

I was suggested to share the scripts [3], so I cleaned them up, added
support for a configuration file, a README file, and crafted a patch
that adds the files under "WebKitTools/BuildSlaveSupport/gtk".
