Description

Skype icon in the gnome-shell top bar doesn't display the current status when started with firejail.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Run in bash firejail skypeforlinux %U

Expected behavior

Skype current status should be displayed in the notifications area like when started without firejail.

Actual behavior

It just display 3 dots.

Behavior without a profile

Works as expected.

Environment

Ubuntu 22.04
Firejail version 0.9.70.

Checklist

[x ] The issues is caused by firejail (i.e. running the program by path (e.g. /usr/bin/vlc) "fixes" it).
[ x] I can reproduce the issue without custom modifications (e.g. globals.local).
[ x] The program has a profile. (If not, request one in https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1139)
[ x] The profile (and redirect profile if exists) hasn't already been fixed upstream.
[ x] I have performed a short search for similar issues (to avoid opening a duplicate).
- [ x] I'm aware of browser-allow-drm yes/browser-disable-u2f no in firejail.config to allow DRM/U2F in browsers.
I used --profile=PROFILENAME to set the right profile. (Only relevant for AppImages)

Duplicated of #1137 I guess.

See https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1137#issuecomment-669496384 for workarounds.
