Bug#1066097: reportbug: xdg-desktop-portal-gnome does not allow write access to folders

[Rob Hall]

Package: xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
Version: 43.1-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: robxnanocode at outlook.com

Dear Maintainer,

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install HandBrake from Flatpak, or another application which makes use of
the portal to open a folder to write in.
2. Use `sudo flatpak override --nofilesystem=host fr.handbrake.ghb` to restrict
direct filesystem access.
3. Run HandBrake and select a video file.
4. Click the To: menu in the bottom right-hand corner, select Other... and
select a folder.

Result: HandBrake reports that the directory is not writable. There is no
option to make the folder writable, so the application is unable to save files.

The issue was reported upstream in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-desktop-
portal-gnome/-/issues/41 and resolved in xdg-desktop-portal-gnome 44 via
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome/-/merge_requests/38.
