The builder xdg-app is set to share your home directory with the host system, so you'll have all your files ssh keys and the like.
What you won't have is /usr, and any tool in there that is not part of the gnome sdk.
You might be able to bind mount /usr from the host as /usr/local if you mess with the xdg-app command line arguments.
Hope this helps,
