That sounds very similar to the issue I was having with the 0ad snap,
which after much debugging I fixed by exporting $XLOCALEDIR, see
details here: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~osomon/+junk/0ad-snap/revision/8.

Let us know if that did the trick.
Also, this should be documented somehow for people snapping X11/SDL
games. Do we have a place for such tips and tricks?
