Bug Description

Publishing a snap which uses the x11 plug but is a command line utility, so doesn't have a .desktop file, I get the following:-

Will need manual review...|
Publishing checks failed.
To release this to stable channel please request a review on the snapcraft list.
Use devmode in the edge or beta channels to disable confinement.
  - desktop interfaces (x11) specified without meta/gui/*.desktop. Please provide a desktop file via setup/gui/*.desktop if using snapcraft or meta/gui/*.desktop otherwise. It should reference one of the 'apps' from your snapcraft/snap.yaml.

Surely x11 related things can exist without desktop files?

This is not a snapcraft error but a store/click-review thing.

Also, just to be pedantic, snapcraft does not publish ;-)

Oh and the publish comment was not directed at you bug reporter! :-)

This needs to be fixed in snapcraft: snapcraft/storeapi/errors.py: 'Publishing checks failed.\n'

I'll figure out a way to make this per-snap overrideable. The test is important due to bug #1643910.
