Bug Description

When I run the snap store version of gnome-calculator I get the following message:

(gnome-calculator:21891): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:14:30.632: cannot open display: :0

And gnome-calculator never starts. I'm running it using an X11 session, not wayland. I tested it under wayland and it appears to work fine.

`lsb_release -rd`:
Description: Ubuntu 19.10
Release: 19.10

`gnome-calculator --version`:
gnome-calculator 3.34.0

Version according to Software Center:
3.34.0+git1.822e4b58

The snap version was the only version available in 19.04, and it doesn't run for me in 19.10, but I see there's a non-snap version now available in 19.10 that does run.
