Bug#789618: Shorcuts associated to launchers stopped working

[Pietro Battiston]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.14.4-1
Severity: normal

Today I upgraded my system, and most shortcuts stopped working. Upon
investigation, it turns out that shortcuts are broken if they launch external
applications, regardless of what combination of keystrokes is chosen.

For instance, my shortcuts for "Home", "Terminal" stopped working.
The shortcut for launching the prompt (with Alt+F2) still works regularly.

But if I reassign Alt+F2 to launching "Home", it doesn't work. Conversely, if I
assign Ctrl+Alt+H to the prompt, it works.

There are other bugs open about shortcuts not working, but they don't seem to
be related, since they seem to depend on the chosen combination/used keyboard
layout, while here both seem to be irrelevant.

To be honest, it is not clear to me which package is to blame, since gnome-
shell was _not_ upgraded today! Some packages that were instead upgraded are
libgtk-3-common, gir1.2-gtk-3.0, gnome-menus, desktop-file-utils, libglib2.0-0,
gnome-control-center, gnome-settings-daemon, gnome-shell-extension-weather.
Please feel free to reassign.

I tested this on two different computers, including an environment with no
extensions activated.
