Bug Description

If I have something like this in meta/gui/foo.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Foo
Exec=...
X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts=NewWindow

[NewWindow Shortcut Group]
Name=New Window
Exec=...
TargetEnvironment=Unity

Then 'X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts', '[NewWindow Shortcut Group]' and 'TargetEnvironment' are stripped from the desktop file when it is put in /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications. This means that currently only simple desktop files with no launcher shortcuts can be supported.
