Snaps are updated ("refreshed" in snap terms) automatically by snapd,
independent of the other update mechanisms for the system. If you run
`snap changes` after a system (with snaps installed, of course) has been
up for a few hours, you should see entries like:

ID Status Spawn Ready Summary
263 Done yesterday at 17:53 EDT yesterday at 17:53 EDT Auto-refresh snap "gtk-common-themes"
