While the majority of interfaces for desktop apps are connected, there are some that are not. There is no graphical method to connect these in the Ubuntu desktop (they can be connected from the command line). [Test Case] 1. Open GNOME Software 2. Select the GNOME Characters snap (installed by default) Expected result: Information is shown about interfaces this snap uses and there is a method to control this. In the implementation this is done with a "Permissions" button (beside "Launch") and a dialog with switches to control this. Observed result: No interface information is shown, so the home interface cannot be disconnected. [Regression Potential] The change is quite large and had to be restructured from the version that is shipped in Bionic. With such a large amount of code there is the potential for new bugs.
