Public bug reported:

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
