[Bug 1802483] [NEW] Notifications emitted by a snap with local files or desktop files use wrong namespace

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton):

As can be tested using this example snap:
 - https://github.com/3v1n0/notify-send-test-snap

Basically the icons are referenced using absolute paths in snap
environment, while they should be readapted so that they depend on $SNAP
location.

As we do with appindicators and libunity emblems.

----


[ Impact ]

Icons sonuds and desktop files referenced by a snapped app using
notifications aren't exposed to the desktop in absolute paths

[ Test case ]

Build the test snap:
  git clone https://github.com/3v1n0/notify-send-test-snap
  snapcraft prime
  snap try prime

Check that icons are shown when launching:
  notify-send-test-snap
  notify-send-test-snap.image-path

Running them with G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all should provide translation
logging

[ Regression potential ]

Normal applications that are run with a SNAP environment variable set,
might use wrong paths for files or desktop file
