For some reason I unable to rebuild snapd following #29 instruction. All
goes fine, but in the end xdg-open wont work. I've checked
/var/log/syslog and it full of:

chromium_chromium.desktop[1674]: user-open error: Supplied URL scheme
"magnet" is not allowed

What is interesting, when I'm changing the source code of launcher.go I
also changed the line with error text to "Supplied !!! URL scheme"...
but in syslog error line still appears the same with out "!!!" this
conclude changes never goes into the /usr/bin/snap binary file.

I tried to remove ~/.cache/go-build /tmp/go-build turn off wifi, but
still resulting package still produce old version of error text. I have
no idea how to rebuild package correctly, following #28 not working.

Title:
  Whitelisted allowedURLschemes breaks some desktop apps

Status in snapd:
  Triaged
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/7952972d4897e085030b288e44dc98b824f6723a/userd/launcher.go#L55

  snapd has a hard-coded list of allowed URL schemes. Currently that is
  limited to "http", "https", "mailto", "snap".

  We have a number of applications in the store which are trying to use
  protocol handlers outside this scope and break when that's not
  possible.

  e.g.

  Telegram Desktop: tg:/
  Github Desktop: git:/
  IRCCloud Desktop: irc:/

  These are the ones I know of, others may also be affected. Can we
  please at least expand the list to those that we know of, and perhaps
  research other popular protocol handlers?

  Ideally we wouldn't have a whitelist, because this delays our ability
  to land new applications with as-yet unknown url schemes.
