[Error] distrobox-export creates icon, but cannot be executed

[Microwave-WYB]

Describe the bug I exported tilix to my gnome desktop, but clicking the icon won't open the application. I'm using Clear Linux To Reproduce I installed tilix in my arch container, I exported with this command

distrobox-export tilix

I then clicked the icon in my application grid, nothing happened. I tried to manually execute the .desktop file:

gtk-launch arch-com.gexperts.Tilix

The application opened normally.

Expected behavior App should open when I click the icon.

Hi @Microwave-WYB I've tried on 3 different host distros (Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse) and it works as intended

Can you give me some logs of when you click on the icon? Maybe a journalctl -f and you paste the part where you click on the tilix icon to launch it
