My main problem is that, first, I need to know Plasma version. in the
native installation, I execute, form Java, "plasmashell --version" command,
which gives me this version. This command in the snap confinement doesn't
exit.

Do you think that using ubuntu-app-platform part could have, for example,
the command I described above?. In order to change the wallpaper I have to
invoke qdbus. Same problem here. Using this part will the command be
available?
