Research direction
Reproduce the failure by launching Talk from the GNOME application launcher on the reported Debian GNOME setup, then compare it with the modified desktop entry shown in the issue. Trace how the Electron desktop entry handles the file-forwarding arguments; done means the packaged application remains open when launched normally with those arguments present.
