Bug Description

This is something we might want to fix to help people who build snaps based on Focal's Qt.

The QGenericUnixServices implementation of openUrl() passes an O_PATH file descriptor to xdg-desktop-portal when it detects it is running under snap confinement. This is rejected because xdg-desktop-portal expects an O_RDONLY file descriptor, leading to the operation failing. More details are available in the upstream bug report I filed:

This originated from a report on the Snapcraft forum here:

  * Bump years for 3rdparty copyright.
