Bug Description

If the icon entry is a full path name, like:

Icon=/usr/share/my-app/app-icon.png

And the app is installed in a Libertine container or UAL is in a Snap we don't add the relative paths needed for those containers. It is always resolved to the root of the host. We need a way to add the container path to those icon paths.

---------------
ubuntu-app-launch (0.9+16.10.20161003.1-0ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * Set a base directory for icons that have a full path specified in
    their desktop file (LP: #1623636)
  * Don't throw an exception when a Desktop file fails to include an
    Icon key (LP: #1617348)
  * Switch from g_atexit to std::atexit to avoid deprecation warnings
  * Use the --id field for launching with libertine-launch and use it
    for setting up other X11 environments
  * Ensure we don't check the length of a nullptr array
  * Make sure we don't check snapd if we know it won't return useful
    results
  * Make use of the instance parameter consistent through all the
    backends (LP: #1626028)
