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

[Jordan Williams]

I have the same problem with snaps on Lubuntu. Snap packages would not
show up in the launcher. Following the comment above:
https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/desktop-snaps-do-not-appear-in-the-dash-
menu-on-gnome-in-17-10-final-beta/2340/14 fixed this. It looks like
FlatPak has already figured this out by adding paths to XDG_DATA_DIRS
automatically. It is a bit concerning that this answer is from 2 years
ago. Is some help needed to patch this?

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
