Also, I remember that some dependency of npm (maybe the one that calls
xdg-open)
recommends or suggests some x11 packages, and one can inadvertently install
those,
but it was possible to not install them (by installing only dependencies).
Sorry for the lack of details, I don't remember right away the name of the
package.
