I am working on a workaround for this. ^^


We are having issues with DBus in confinement, or lack thereof, rendering
some apps non functional out of devmode. So we need a dbus interface to
allow it.

And apparmor profile diffs that I will need to get the interfaces into
snappy when I have them ready.

Eventually we will want a plasma plug, but this is future work and we are
no where close to
starting it.

Cheers,
Scarlett
