Applications installed via snap install do not appear in LXQt menu

[Hayden Barnes]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install lubuntu-desktop on focal
2. Login via gdm3
3. Open QTerminal
4. $ snap install slack --classic
5. Open LXQt main menu

Expected results:

That newly installed snap applications would appear in LXQt main menu, on an official flavor of Ubuntu.

Actual results:

Newly installed snap applications do not appear in LXQt main menu, even after restart.

Info:

lxqt-panel: Installed: 0.14.1-1ubuntu3

snapd:
Installed: 2.44+20.04

/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/slack_slack.desktop is present

I just tried this on my (running) Lubuntu 20.04 system, in Qterminal

$ `snap install slack --classic`
slack 4.4.0 from Slack✓ installed

In the Internet options I have a new menu item "Slack".

Slack executes (from LXQt menu) & I got to 'sign-in' screen before I exited; and will now remove snap package.

I could *not* re-create this. I'm using Lubuntu's default `sddm` though, and my system is very modified (has `ubuntu-desktop`, `xubuntu-desktop`, `ubuntu-mate-desktop` installed).

I tried on a QA-installed Lubuntu 20.04. Slack appears in menu after install.

Opened qterminal, `snap install slack --classic`, and "Slack" option appears in menu. System was installed yesterday; 2020-03-27 ISO as shown in /etc/apt/sources.list. No `gdm3` is in use as Lubuntu uses `sddm`

Thank you for trying.

I think it may have something to do with installing lubuntu-desktop on an Ubuntu Sever image with other DEs at the same time.

If I get around to it I will see if I can reproduce it in isolation and if so re-open.
