Hello,

Thanks for your work with xvfb!
I've been finding it very useful for headless applications.

I've recently been trying to integrate xvfb-run into conda environments.
It appears that the conda package xorg-x11-server-xvfb-cos7-x86_64<https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/xorg-x11-server-xvfb-cos7-x86_64> contains xvfb-run.
However, upon installing this package, xvfb-run does not get added to my command line $PATH

Once in the conda environment:


echo $PATH

/home/user/some/path/.snakemake/conda/88b6189c5ff6f692b2c06b47d96d7966_/bin:
/home/user/miniforge3/condabin:
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin


However, I can access xvfb-run here:
/home/user/some/path/.snakemake/conda/88b6189c5ff6f692b2c06b47d96d7966_/x86_64-conda-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/bin/xvfb-run


So, it seems that xvfb-run is being successfully installed, but not making it onto $PATH.

Would it be possible to update the conda package recipe so that xvfb-run is added to $PATH?
Or is there another way that I should be accessing this as part of the conda environment?

Kind regards!
And thank you again for maintaining this package!

Michael Johnston
