Rocker sort of works, gives QXcpConnection errors

edit

I'm trying to use rocker with the NVIDIA Container Toolkit and I'm running into problems.

• Ubuntu 18.04
• Docker version 19.03.12, build 48a66213fe
• nvidia-container-toolkit
• rocker 0.2.2

docker run --gpus all nvidia/cuda:10.0-base nvidia-smi gives:

rocker --x11 --nvidia osrf/ros:eloquent-desktop rviz2 opens a window with rviz2 running and the main canvas visible in the center of the window. Yay! I can interact with the main canvas. But all of the controls (Qt, I guess) along the left, right and top are not drawn -- so most of the window is black. Meanwhile, I'm getting repeated errors like this in my docker container:

QXcbConnection: XCB error: 2 (BadValue), sequence: 3726, resource id: 1200, major code: 130 (Unknown), minor code: 3

I'm a docker and rocker newbie. Any pointers?

Thanks.

Update: most problems go away when I use the --user option:

rocker --x11 --nvidia --user osrf/ros:eloquent-desktop rviz2

But when I run without a command (rocker --x11 --nvidia --user osrf/ros:eloquent-desktop) the problems eventually return. E.g., the first invocation of rviz2 works, but the 2nd results in the original behavior.
