A google search for "run x11 app in docker" returns 
http://fabiorehm.com/blog/2014/09/11/running-gui-apps-with-docker/ as 
the first result.  That blog entry suggests running the app in container 
with the DISPLAY environment variable, and with the /tmp/.X11-unix 
directory shared so that the X11 unix sockets are available in the 
container:

|docker run -ti --rm \ -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \ -v 
/tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \ geany |
