This also affects the libreoffice snap, and more generally all snaps
using the desktop helpers (and it should be fixed there).

Title:
[snap] File dialogs show snap's home directory instead of user's
Status in Snapcraft:
Unknown
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
How to reproduce:
- Find a web page that has a file chooser (you can just paste `<input
type="file">` into an empty HTML page)
- Click the "Choose File" button
- Click "Home" if you didn't start here
- See that Chromium uses `/home/$USER/snap/chromium/500` as the home folder
Expected behavior:
The file picker should use the user's home folder, not the snap's,
because everything else would be confusing for end users.
Versions:
snap 2.35.4+18.10
snapd 2.35.4+18.10
series 16
ubuntu 18.10
kernel 4.18.11-surface-linux-surface
