From what I can tell, the attached denials are only seen when the snap
is not installed in devmode.

The gsettings issues, while the snap is installed in devmode, are not
caused by confinement. gsettings is simply not available:

$ ubuntukylin-icon-theme.set
/snap/ubuntukylin-icon-theme/100001/command-set.wrapper: 5: exec:
gsettings: not found
