Bug Description

I use the Emacs keybinding theme on my desktop for all GTK apps:

$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-key-theme
'Emacs'
$

After migrating from the chromium deb to the snap, chromium is unaware of this setting.

This means that instead of ^W mapping to "delete previous word" when in a text form, it maps to the browser default of "close window", which is incredibly annoying.

The gedit snap honours the setting, so it's a chromium-specific issue.

Stracing the chromium snap reveals that it cannot locate /usr/share/themes/Emacs/gtk-3.*/gtk.css.
That file is installed by libgtk-3-common. I suspect staging that file in the snap should be enough to fix the problem, I'll test this.

Confirmed, staging /usr/share/themes/{Default,Emacs} from libgtk-3-common fixes the problem.
