Bug report: Snap applications missing

Hello dear ZSH-dev community,

first of all, thanks for your work, I love ZSH!

I did not find any official bug report, altough I found some posts on
reddit and blogs (e.g. here
<https://realjenius.com/2020/01/12/kde-neon-snap-apps-missing/>).
When ZSH is set as the default shell Snap applications are missing under
Kubuntu 22.04 in the launcher (fresh install) but found via the terminal.

Sadly the workaround presented in the linked blog post did not work on my
machine.
The paths appended in the described workaround are in the variable
XDG_DATA_DIRS  on my machine.

If I set the default shell back to bash the snap applications are found
again via the launcher.

Regards
- Jonas

This is a Ubuntu (and/or Kubuntu) bug, not a zsh bug, and needs to be
reported to whoever maintains the zsh package for Ubuntu.

This appears to have been a problem at least since Ubuntu 17.04,
although usually it's the other way around (shells in terminal lack
the correct path).

A solution may be as simple as adding

path+=(/snap/bin)

to /etc/zshenv, but I am not familiar with how kubuntu builds its launcher.
