Impact
------
When converting from deb to snap package of chromium, progressive web
applications (PWAs) launch just as another window of chromium and are
not recognized as separate application by the window manager (for
example when switching using Super+Tab) or dock (grouped under chromium
windows).
This strikes users as a regression (as it is).
Test case
---------
*Install the package.
*Log in to Ubuntu desktop.
*Start Chromium.
*Go to a site that offers PWA to install, e.g. earth.google.com.
*In the right end of the address bar, click the icon to install the PWA.
*The PWA opens in a separate window.
In this first launch it may be that the PWA is not yet recognized as a different application by the Gnome Shell, if this is the case, close the PWA and open it again.
*Verify that the PWA behaves as a stand-alone program, namely insofar as it:
++can be found by pressing Super and then typing its name (e.g. 'earth' if you installed Google Earth).
++launches when thereby clicking that launcher.
++does not share Chromium's tab group in the alt-tab switcher.
++does not share Chromium's launcher icon in the dock (i.e. the launcher bar that by default is flush to the left edge of the screen).
Regression potential
--------------------
Regressions may arise as incorrect window grouping in the alt-tab
switcher or in the dock for desktop applications.
