I'm working on the Skype (Unofficial) WebApp [1] for Ubuntu Touch, and I
need some clarifications.

According to the Ubuntu WebApps Guide [2] it is possible to override the
browser's user agent string. This has to be done in the project's .desktop
file (e.g. [3]) using the --user-agent-override='<string>' argument.

Unfortunately, this seems to have no effect. I've tested this with a WebApp
that opens a website showing the user agent sent, and it displays the usual
Ubuntu Touch user agent instead of the specified one.

Can anybody confirm this argument has ever worked? Or is there something
I'm doing wrong? Thanks for any hint, Peter
