Not seeing that on wily desktop, but I think I know what’s going on: on
xenial webbrowser-app is running confined by apparmor, and by default
access to the file system is denied. We should probably deny that
conditionally (it makes sense when using the content hub transfer
capabilities, but it doesn’t on desktop with a traditional filepicker
approach).

Title:
  [desktop] File upload dialog can't see user's files

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On the desktop, when a web site asks for a file dialog to pick a file
  (like uploading a file), the dialog that appears is useless.  I can't
  see any files in my home directory.  It just appears blank.

  This is on xenial's 0.23+16.04.20151103-0ubuntu1 version of
  webbrowser-app.

  Examples:
  https://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/file.html (there is a file upload button a little ways down)
  Gmail, when uploading an attachment
