[Bug 2042589] [NEW] Some snap packages don't open frrom the KDE menu

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

On Mantic, some snap packages seem to mostly fail to open from the KDE
menu. Examples include Telegram, Signal and Discord. However, they will
open from the menu when specifying the executable in `/snap/bin`

To reproduce:

1. Install a fresh copy of Kubuntu Mantic
2. Install Signal from snapd (`snap install signal-desktop`)
3. Open it, reboot, re-open it, reboot again
4. Use the Signal item in the applications menu

Expected results:

Signal opens

Actual results:

Launch feedback appears, but signal never runs

Workaround:

Enter `/snap/bin/signal-desktop` into krunner

Workaround 2:

Open `/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/` in Dolphin and open the
`.desktop` file from there.
