Bug description:
  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
