One important case is the gsettings backend, which should use a keyfile when confined rather than using dconf. When using a fully confined desktop this is required, as dconf is not suitable for sharing between snaps. This has been fixed in glib main: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/3020 [ Test Plan ] (requires a core snap running the updated glib). 1. Install gnome-calculator snap: $ snap install gnome-calculator 2. Disconnect gsettings interface: $ snap disconnect gnome-calculator:gsettings 3. Run gnome-calculator 4. Change mode from basic to advanced 5. Close and re-open gnome-calculator Expected result: Mode change remembered on second run. gnome-calculator settings written to ~/snap/gnome-calculator/current/.config/glib-2.0/settings/keyfile Observed result: Mode change not remembered on second run, errors shown in console about accessing dconf: (gnome-calculator:1031938): dconf-CRITICAL **: 14:08:56.034: unable to create file '/run/user/1000/snap.gnome-calculator/dconf/user': Permission denied. dconf will not work properly. [ Where problems could occur ] - New bug introduced in glib causing a crash. - Security issue introduced in glib due to accessing snapctl. - Unexpected behaviour change when running snaps with updated glib.
