[GNC] create desktop icons for GNC 4.9 Flatpak on Ubuntu

[Adrien Monteleone]

The 'no suitable backend' is clueing me to an issue with that particular 
file and not having the right backend installed/enabled.

But Jeffrey already said opening the file directly works fine and is 
using XML. (usually one sees that error when trying to use one of the db 
backends since XML is not an issue)

I'm going to hazard there is some weird flatpak bug at play and it seems 
to have been resolved as of 21.10.

Maybe there is a solution or workaround, or maybe upgrading to the next 
LTS (22.04, due out next month) will do the trick.

Regards,
Adrien
