Bug Description

Impact
------
This is a new stable release in the GNOME 42 series.

It has one bugfix: an annoying error message that can be seen in apps like the Telegram snap when trying to save a file.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome/-/issues/29

Test Case 1
-----------
snap install telegram-desktop
Open Telegram
Log in
Open a conversation with someone or a group.
Click one of the images that have been sent.
Click the save button to save it. It will automatically save the image to ~/Downloads/Telegram Desktop/ without an error.

Test Case 2
-----------
snap install portal-test
Run the portal-test app and verify that things seem to work ok

Test Case 3
-----------
Verify that you can open and save files with the Firefox and Chromium snaps

What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome provides critical functionality for snaps such as the filechooser for the browser apps.

The Ubuntu flavors use a different portal backend, most commonly xdg-desktop-portal-gtk which uses GTK3 so it's not affected by this SRU.
