You need to use some wrappers that help you redirect some of those calls
to your snaps or HOME directory.

Some options is to use a new shiny consolidated gtk3 cloud part!

- prepend your apps: command with "gtk-launch <your app command>
- ensure that you add to it at least the [unity7, x11] plugs, (you may
want gsettings and home plugs as well)
- add to your part definition:
   after: [desktop.gtk3]

Think about running "snapcraft update" if you have snapcraft 2.12 before
running snapcraft.
Note that the locale (transations) is still something that we need to
figure out depending on the used technology.

Cheers,
