Thanks Christian:  I also got it going using the Dockerfile you provided.  
This was my first time learning to use Docker so had to climb the learning 
curve.  I'm running on a Linux Mint host so I had to install docker, 
docker.io and apparmor before doing the build.  

I then had to add my userid to the docker group so that I didn't need to 
sudo everything.
sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER

I used the following build command within the directory containing the 
Dockerfile:
docker build --rm -t kmymoney .

I was able to successfully launch KmyMoney using the following two 
commands:
xhost +
docker run -ti --rm -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix 
kmymoney

(I know the first line is overkill, but I'll tinker with it until it is a 
bit more secure.)

KMyMoney runs well inside a Docker Container.  My next step is to figure 
out how to map the .mny file local to my host. 

Again - THANKS!  Your Dockerfile - and news that you were successful gave 
me the resolve to accomplish this too.
