KDE Dolphin works in QV

It is almost 4am, should be in bed, but couldn't resist doing this...

Posted a few hours ago success booting up QV:

So booted and created a new snapshot, titled "KDE apps", then installed Dolphin file manager:

...93 dependencies, the download was about 70MB. No problem, they installed, then:

Dragged a desktop icon, but ran "dolphin" from a terminal to see if any error messages. Works, but when clicked on a partition:

Dolphin has installed to run as user "dolphin". So, instead run "dolphin.bin" in the terminal, to run as root, now mounting a partition works:

...good. But the problem with polkit is something that we were tackling before, and will need to look at it again.

A question has arisen; it would be nice if we can flip snapshots on-the-fly, without having to reboot. Possible? Will think about it.
