Bug#825204: gnome-settings-daemon: Duplicate .desktop entries prevent some keyboard shortcuts from working

[Steve]

Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 3.20.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Chromium is my default web browser.

Working example:

Add a keyboard shortcut in Settings -> Keyboard -> Launchers -> Launch web
browser.
Using the shortcut launches Chromium as expected.

Then create a duplicate .desktop entry for Chromium from
/usr/share/applications/chromium.desktop to
$HOME/.local/share/applications/chromium.desktop
(This was initially for the purpose of shortening the application name as shown
in the Gnome Shell applications overview).

The keyboard shortcut no longer works. Nothing happens.

Disable the shortcut for Launchers -> Launch web browser.
Add a new shortcut in Settings -> Keyboard -> Custom Shortcuts:
Name = Chromium
Command = chromium
... and set an accelerator for this new shortcut.
Using this new custom shortcut works as expected with the duplicate .desktop
entry.
