The Gnome wiki is currently down for me, but once it's back up:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/SandboxedApps

Decent overview (with additional background links) at
https://blogs.gnome.org/mclasen/2015/01/21/sandboxed-applications-for-gnome/

The need for integration with the desktop manager and display server
introduces additional complexity that web service oriented container
systems don't need to worry about, so it makes sense to me to have the
two systems be separate.

Cheers,
Nick.
