Bug Description

I have installed Gnome Web snap package version 3.36.4-3-g5ceac60b4d and I'm on Ubuntu 20.04.1

I can create a web application from a website (by using Gnome Web's `Install site as Web Application` feature). However, the web application's files all go to `~/snap/epiphany/current/.local/share/`, including the generated `.desktop`. This makes it impossible for me to use the Gnome dash to find and open it.

I would expect that at least the `.desktop` file would be placed under `~/.local/share/applications` instead.
