Public bug reported:
When I disconnect the thunderbird from the x11 interface thunderbird
crashes saying it can not find the wayland socket. If I add a link to
the wayland socket inside the container thunderbird works fine. That is
on kubuntu 22.04 in a plasma/wayland session, MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 is
set on the host and in the container as well.
This also probably means that the thunderbird snap actually never uses
native wayland and falls back to xwayland (because the wayland socket
can not be found).
This unintended use of xwayland could be construed as a security issue,
but someone who mistrusts snaps using x11 (like me) will remove the
permission which leads to failure instead of a security issue.
