Bug Description

According to saviq: We need to get rid of the desktop_file_hint workaround rather sooner than later..
Autopilot now has helpers to launch the test app with ubuntu app launch, so we should use that instead.

I just got confused by this… it prevents me from writing a file-based testcase (which is most of the new tests we write) for testing URIHandler which requires uri's to be passed, a feature that's not supported by launch_test_application().

The linked branch uses ubuntu-app-launch everywhere, except for launching the gallery from source. I'm leaving the bug open so we can keep track of that work too.
