GTK apps fail to start under Unity8

[Drwd]

Error to start, check out the pic.

Thanks for the bug report.

Connecting 3rd party client apps to Unity8 requires them to have something like this string on their command line:
    --desktop_file_hint=unity8
because Unity8 will actually inspect the command line of the app.

So if you're lucky, your app supports '--' and you can go:
    wireshark -- --desktop_file_hint=unity8

If you're unlucky then that won't work and you need either the app/toolkit to add '--' support, or to ask the Unity8 team nicely to remove the desktop_file_hint requirement.

Please let us know how it goes...

More than that, wireshark is a GTK app, which is not supported yet.

Hi. I'm unlucky and it does not work, I'm testing many package and repository under Ubuntu Touch.

My device is BQ E 4.5 with OTA 8 system.

Why is not supported yet?

Regards.

Because we didn't have the time yet to integrate GTK apps into the new world, is all.
