The PID who is creating the group should be Upstart itself, or a
helper. We are telling Upstart to do it using the "cgroup" field in the
job file. Specifically the job config file has "cgroup freezer".

It should be creating "upstart/$job-$instance" so for a legacy instance
of Inkscape the cgroup would be "upstart/application-legacy-inkscape
-23452345", the last number is a timestamp.

Bug description:
  xenial
  applications close instantly when launched from the launcher or dash
  but... if i launch the apps from a VT (for ex firefox using Xmir or gedit native --), the app loads ok.

  what close instantly means.. it opens the window and then it closes
  instantly in ~0.3s
