Bug Description
I was working with snapd folks on a ZFS related snap, and I mentioned that there were several Snaps that seem to be non-functional on 21.04 that work fine on 20.04. Some of the errors seem to be wayland related, but most still fail to launch on an "X" session. snap-store is one of them. After using the workaround noted in Bug 1922293 (https:/

However when launching snap-store from the "normal gui" menu nothing comes up. When launching from CLI I get the following error:
```

I'm also getting various failures to launch on all non-classic snaps that I've tried, including keepassxc, beekeper-studio, qownnotes, kate and telegram-desktop. The only non-classic snap I've tried that works has been hello-world. I'm thinking there might be another mounting/zfs problem here, but I don't know where to look.
Just an update, I was playing with it. I did find a workaround. If after the workaround in the other bug, you remove then reinstall the snaps it does start to work.
