According to AppImage documentation OWD and ARGV0 environment variables should be set for AppImage type 1 and type 2 appimages respectively. It looks like ARGV0 was added to the type 2 spec since #560.

The lack of and ARGV0 envvar is definitely affecting recent Inkscape appimages. We should set both for AppRun.
