Issue description

I use xfreerdp3 and xrdp on my Ubuntu 24.04 Host to access Incus Ubuntu 24.04 Container Desktops.
Everything works except...

no SNAP application installed in the Incus Container Ubuntu Desktop accepts any keyboard input.
For instance, both the Firefox Snap or the Chromium-Browser Snap has this problem. So does the OnlyOffice snap
removing the SNAP version of the application & install the DEB version of the application (in the Incus Container) - keyboard input works

This is a really strange problem because:

Snap Applications in the Host work and accept keyboard input
Only in an Incus Ubuntu Desktop Containers they do not!

I kept looking and found this Thread on the SnapCraft forum:

https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/no-snap-applications-respond-to-keyboard-input-on-clean-install-of-xubuntu-22-04-lts/32422/29

Same problem as I am having but the other people in that thread that are affected were not using Incus Containers.

So I'm going to close this for now
