Public bug reported:
Ran `snap install chromium --channel=candidate/from-source` as suggested
in https://community.ubuntu.com/t/intent-to-provide-chromium-as-a-snap-
only/5987 and I think it broke my launcher (from searching for Chromium
in Activities).
Clicking on it produces the notification:
Failed to launch "Chromium Web Browser"
Desktop file didn't specify exec field
Also the launcher has no icon (only the plain executable one)
