Jupyter qtconsole gives X Error: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)

[alimanfoo]

Attempting to run the Jupyter qtconsole results in an error that looks like this:

$ biipy_run.sh v1.5.0 jupyter qtconsole
X Error: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) 10
  Extension:    130 (MIT-SHM)
  Minor opcode: 1 (X_ShmAttach)
  Resource id:  0x4a00005
X Error: BadShmSeg (invalid shared segment parameter) 128
  Extension:    130 (MIT-SHM)
  Minor opcode: 5 (X_ShmCreatePixmap)
  Resource id:  0xd6
X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9
  Major opcode: 62 (X_CopyArea)
  Resource id:  0x4a00010
...

There is a workaround, which is to create a script like:

#!/bin/bash
QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 jupyter qtconsole

...then execute this script, e.g., if called "jupyterqt.sh" then:

$ biipy_run.sh v1.5.0 jupyterqt.sh

...however it might be worth ensuring QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 is in the environment already, e.g., with an ENV call in the Dockerfile.

Sounds reasonable. So nothing else required other than adding that line to the dockerfile? Or is it better to let users run with the --env flag?
