[Bug 1640514] Re: /snap/bin is not added to the PATH when using zsh

[James Henstridge]

I've put together a PR to set XDG_DATA_DIRS via environment.d, as was
done for PATH:

https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/6813

When this is merged and released, it should remove the need for any
special user configuration.

Bug description:
  --- Environment ---
  Ubuntu Zesty 17.04 (dev)
  zsh
  snapd 2.16

  --- Description ---
  zsh does not seem to load the scripts in /etc/profile.d/ (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=88457 ).
  As a consequence, /snap/bin is not added to PATH, and running snaps from terminal (without snap run) does not work

  --- How to reproduce ---
  1) Install zsh
  2) try running apps provided by snaps from the shell, without using snap run
