gnome apps provided by snaps show default "executable" icon with Adwaita icon theme

[Alberto Donato]

On 18.10 with GNOME session and default Adwaita icon theme, desktop apps installed via snap, like gnome-calculator, gnome-system-monitor, ... all have the default executable icon (diamond with gears), instead of their own icons.

Quick sanity check: Can you please try disabling/removing all extensions:

b'org.gnome.shell' b'enabled-extensions' b"['<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>', 'ubuntu-appindicators_ubuntu.com', 'docker-integration_jan.trejbal.gmail.com', 'bettervolume_tudmotu.com', 'battery_status_milliburn.github.com', 'drive-menu_gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'TopIcons_phocean.net', '<email address hidden>', '<email address hidden>']"

and tell us if the problem still happens?

[Alberto Donato (ack)]

@Daniel, yes, even disabling all extensions I still have the issue.
