Integrating desktop applications with snaps has been a little bit challenging in terms of getting them looking and behaving as part of the system. This means following general desktop theming, having global application menu integration, getting the icon caches, getting configuration keys and such. Also, the technologies and toolkits like GTK, Qt, demand a little bit of expertise on that front.

That's the reason why we saw flourishing some desktop helpers like gtkconf or qtconf as cloud snapcraft parts for this. However, they were sharing little code and some part of the integration was working for one flavor and not the other flavor and vice-versa.

New desktop launchers to the rescue!

This is the reason why we are announcing new desktop launchers! The goal was to streamline the experience and ensuring that all following user visible features are working, independent of the toolkit or technology you are using:

Bind with current desktop theme if shipped by default (GTK & Qt)
Icons theme available for decoding (with the right decoders automatically shipped)
Application menu integration (in Unity)
Icon cache and images generated on first launch (no more need to ship pre-compile GSettings and Gio caching modules) after a new upgrade
Keep previous xdg-based data, even after upgrade
GSettings keys available for reading (not only writing)
Most of the code is shared between the launchers, so any fix in one will benefit others, and we assemble them at build time.
Avoid erratic behavior like cd $SNAP that some launchers were doing and not others (we don't change the current working directory anymore)
