It seems to be

I haven't repeated that for all warnings of similar kind, but if I add
`--expose=/sys/block --expose=/sys/class --expose=/sys/bus --
expose=/sys/dev --expose=/sys/devices` to the invocation, I instead get
a warning, that the WebKitWebProcess can't open $DISPLAY.  I'm not sure
how to resolve that one, given that I already had to sneak DISPLAY and
XAUTHORITY into the container, but it's a start.

Regards,
Leo
