PLEASE just READ the flow of comments

"I suspect the R-Pi brings up the X-Window system even without a
monitor connected"

"No, Unless you have configured it to"

That is: the *default* starting of the X-widnows system is an

It doesnt 'just happen'

And in particular if you set up raspian as a headless server using
raspian lite or whatever it is called, it wont even be *installed*

Let alone started.
