Bug Description

Impact
------
Calculator key doesn't launch the calculator in Zesty

This is because gnome-calculator 3.24 renamed its .desktop.

Test Case
---------
Run Unity.
Install the update.
If you have a keyboard with a Calculator key, press that key.

Otherwise, open System Settings>Keyboard. Switch to the Shortcuts tab.
Click the row that says Launch calculator. Type something else (How about Super+C). Once it's set, press that key combination.

In either case, the Calculator should start.

Regression Potential
--------------------
This is the same fix applied in gnome-settings-daemon.

Seems like related fixes in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/3.24.0-0ubuntu2 didn't fix the bug.

Apparently this is gnome-bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780348 that was supposedly fixed six days ago by commit ace15f5dceaa1691f9aee21f960c281e8c4d9fcc, but the behaviour is still happening as of today.

You can add a custom new shortcut by calling gnome-calculator

Hello,

Just installed unity-settings-daemon 15.04.1+17.04.20170418-0ubuntu1 from proposed, and the calculator key now invokes the calculator, again.

Thank you.
