Hi Sebastien, hi all :)

Sorry for not answering before, but I don't have too much spare time and I
spent the whole last week trying different things with my snap package.
Sebastien, you pointed to me in the right direction, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! :)

I have tryied snapcraft-desktop-helpers with gsettings interface and they
did the trick! (with some problems that I think I'll described in another
thread in order to not mess this one which i think is solved).

So again, thank you very much for the help :)

Best,

Eloy
