Title:
Allow a confined app to read its own .desktop file
Status in apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
The use-case is webapps: in the webapp container we are implementing a splash
screen to be shown at certain times during the webapp execution, which contains
among other things the application icon and name.
While we could ask the webapp developer to explicitly specify the application
name and icon in the webapp manifest, this seems like unnecessary work. On the
other hand, reading the .desktop file from the installed package dir is not
trivial: the file could be in a subdirectory, it could have any name, and we
risk picking up the wrong file in case there are more apps in the same package.
AFAICT, the only reliable way to get the desktop file is to check the
APP_ID environment variable and read
~/.local/share/applications/$APP_ID.desktop
