Permissions

• --talk-name=org.freedesktop.Flatpak: This permission is required in order to open apps and refresh the system menu when a new app is installed; if the user disables this permission manually (eg. with Flatseal), Gear lever should countinue to work normally, except you would not be able to open apps directly.
