The main app in my snapped feature wants to initiate some xterm sessions and 
run a different local snap command in each.  However, I can't manage to get a 
terminal emulator of any sort to behave correctly within the snap (if they 
startup at all, then they cannot receive keystroke input).  I have tried xterm, 
rxvt, and the vte-based sakura as staged-packages.   Plugging to the X11 slot 
interface (and even Unity7) seems to have no effect.    They build OK but fail 
at runtime with similar failures :

>/snap/exfab/x1/usr/bin/sakura: error while loading shared libraries: 
>libgtk-3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
>/snap/exfab/x1/usr/bin/rxvt-xterm: error while loading shared libraries: 
>libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
>/snap/exfab/x1/usr/bin/xterm: error while loading shared libraries: 
>libXft.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

My target machine is a Xenial VM in VirtualBox . . .
Does anyone do terminal emulation from a snap ?

Thanks,
Joe
