No, I'm not. But I did just try it, as it would make setting up these
jobs easier. It didn't work immediately. Or on several subsequent
attempts. The error is:

Error forwarding the new session new session request for webdriver
should contain a location header with the session.
(org.openqa.grid.common.exception.GridException) 

Which, IIRC, is the same error I got before setting up Xvfb yesterday. I
have to conclude this plugin just doesn't work as expected... even
though it appears to do what it should. :(

If you find any more info... it may be helpful.

Not sure what you mean here. Should I have to set $DISPLAY manually
with Xvfb plugin? Seems it picks one at random, but that selenium-grid
isn't finding it.

So I export DISPLAY in .profile and set it the same in the plugin.
Restart Jenkins. No difference. So far this seems like a dead end. :-/
