Previous, still valid:

   x11docker [OPTIONS] -- "DOCKER_RUN_OPTIONS"   IMAGE [COMMAND [ARG1 ARG2 ...]]
   x11docker [OPTIONS] -- IMAGE COMMAND ARG1 -- ARG2

BREAKS due to wrongly parsed -- :

   x11docker [OPTIONS] -- "DOCKER_RUN_OPTIONS"   IMAGE COMMAND ARG1 -- ARG2

Valid:

   x11docker [OPTIONS] --  DOCKER_RUN_OPTIONS -- IMAGE COMMAND ARG1 -- ARG2

  if /etc/X11/Wrapper.config is not configured to allow it.

Changed

• x11docker-gui runs from console, too.

Fixed

• --xorg and others on TTY failed due to xinit in subshell. (regression in v4.3.4).
• --weston --size failed on tty, have to specify drm backend for check.
• timezone syncing: If setting TZ, positive offsets have been set wrong.
• timezone syncing: Regard TZ from host, not only /etc/localtime.

  longer than 60s. Restart xpra client in that case.

Changed

• --dbus-system --sharecgroup: support of elogind in container.
• Timezone syncing: Do not mount-bind /etc/localtime.

  container. If all that fails, set TZ with offset to UTC. (#50)
• Improved message.fifo handling from within dockerrc and container.
• Disentangled final code sequence of xinit and docker run.

Fixed

• Check for running docker daemon in dockerrc instead of using pidof. (#49)

  missing. (Seen on Ubuntu 18.04).

  for desktop environments (--desktop) to allow logout.

Fixed

• fedora 28: Check for docker daemon with name dockerd-current (#49)
• --auto: Prefer --hostdisplay for seamless apps if nothing else is available.
• --wayland, --weston, --kwin, --hostwayland:
  Show error and exit if no wayland environment can be provided.
• dockerrc messages forwarded to logfile fifo. (fixes "unknown file descriptor").
