Bug Description

When running confined into a snap environment, mission-control needs to use different paths for its files:

Sep 30 05:31:22 localhost org.freedesktop.Telepathy.AccountManager[4688]: (process:4767): mcd-WARNING **: Unable to create directory '/snap/unity8-session/x1/usr/share/telepathy/mission-control': Read-only file system

Instead of using $SNAP, it probably should use $SNAP_DATA

check if it is using:

QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::AppDataLocation)

It should return the right path on snap or not.

in case of configuration files it should use the enum: QStandardPaths::AppConfigLocation

Well, mission-control is not using Qt at all, so certainly not using QStandardPaths
