Bug Description
On the phone and tablet, all apps are launched and managed by the upstart-app-launch utility, which is based on upstart.
This utility ensures that each application has a correct environment to run in, configures application confinement and communicates the launch to shell so shell knows not to reject a rogue application. Since users are using this to launch apps, I think autopilot should do so too.
Instead the hacky solution autopilot is relying on is the --desktop_file_hint parameter, which is error prone:

and I have a goal to remove support for that parameter entirely.
