You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Snaps that use the app indicator area via Qt can't display their icon
there.

Steps to reproduce and screenshot:
https://github.com/nuttyartist/notes/pull/77

Some research:

- Uses http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsystemtrayicon.html
- The indicator icon is created under /tmp under a randomly generated directory name

didrocks mentions also:

1. The application says "this is my menu, and here is my icon at that address", the address being /tmp/blablabla
2. appindicator receives the bus messages
3. and says "let's have a look at this icon at that address"
4. BUT! /tmp in the snap is different form system /tmp

====================================================================================

SRU bug for libappindicator:

[Impact]

Indicator icons pointing to a position inside the snap aren't properly
found by unity, that shows a "missing icon" emblem

[Test case]

* Download this yaml file http://pastebin.com/raw/FpEvQYGN and save it as snapcraft.yaml
  in any folder you want
* Run:
  - snapcraft prime
  - sudo snap try prime
  - snap run gtk3-appindicator

An indicator should open (with proper icon), then if you select "Set
icon with Full Path" and/or "Enable Local Theme" from its menu, you
should see a proper icon.

When snaps are generated in non updated systems, the icon will be still
missing.

[Regression potential]

If $SNAP is defined for an app not running in snap confinement the icons
couldn't be properly visible

====================================================================================

SRU bug for appmenu-qt5:

[Impact]

Indicator icons pointing to a position inside the snap aren't properly
found by unity, that shows a "missing icon" emblem

[Test case]

* Download this yaml file http://pastebin.com/raw/KeZ1udjW and save it as snapcraft.yaml
  in any folder you want
* Run:
  - snapcraft prime
  - sudo snap try prime
  - snap run qt5-systray

An indicator should open, with the proper icon showin. From the window
you can change the icon type, and all the types should work.

When snaps are generated in non updated systems, the icons (except the
Themed one) will be still missing.

[Regression potential]

If $SNAP env variable is defined for an app not running in snap
confinement the icons couldn't be properly visible

====================================================================================

SRU bug for sni-qt:

[Impact]

Indicator icons pointing to a position inside the snap aren't properly
found by unity, that shows a "missing icon" emblem

[Test case]

* Download this yaml file http://pastebin.com/raw/EZjQS5CH and save it as snapcraft.yaml
  in any folder you want
* Run:
  - snapcraft prime
  - sudo snap try prime
  - snap run qt4-systray

An indicator should open, with the proper icon showin. From the window
you can change the icon type, and all the types should work.

When snaps are generated in non updated systems, the icons (except the
Themed one) will be still missing.

[Regression potential]

If $SNAP env variable is defined for an app not running in snap
confinement the icons couldn't be properly visible
