If you're name-dropping George Carlin you are most certainly not young<br>
XD I do my best thinking on a bike, too. Anyways, yeah, it's a little<br>
strange. I know the reason why (sandboxing) but I agree it's a poor user<br>
experience. Unfortunately, that's about all I can offer. Beyond that,<br>
it's a matter of talking to the Snap team. I *HIGHLY* recommend you make<br>
friends with Alan Pope/popey who responded to your thread as he plays a<br>
role not unlike a community liason in his employment at Canonical. If<br>
anyone can help you communicate effectively to the right people, it's<br>
him.<br>
