Current evaluation

Support request (explicitly '[Not a Bug]'): author wants guidance running Xvfb/headless display for Chromium+Selenium in a snap; hit a store security-review alert and got no forum reply. No snapcraft defect reported.

Suggested action: close not a bug

Reason: The reporter labels it '[Not a Bug]' and asks only for advice — 'I don't know if this is the right way to implement it' — pointing at a snapcraft forum thread rather than describing any snapcraft malfunction. Grepping the repo for 'xvfb', 'headless' and 'Selenium' turns up nothing beyond unrelated 'openjdk-*-jdk-headless' stage-packages, confirming no relevant subsystem or doc lives here; the store security-review flag for running Xvfb is snap-store policy, not a craft defect. No labels, no maintainer response and no reproducer exist, so this is a support/usage question best answered on the forum and closed on Launchpad.

Issue body

oHi, This is not a bug, but as I receive no reply to my messages on the forum as my snap release is not reviewed I post my request here. As stated, on the forum, I try to run xvfb on a headless board (for Chromium+Selenium) I tried implementing an example from the forum. 1/ It raises a security alert and flag the release for manual review 2/ I don't know if this is the right way to implement it https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/trying-to-run-xvfb-run-inside-a-snap-to-run-on-an-headless-ubuntu-server/31389/3 Thanks <3
