Gnome-calculator launcher icon not visible

[Harry33]

I just found out one funny issue.
I use Gnome-shell desktop environment with Gnome3 PPA and Gnome3 Staging PPA enabled.
The gnome-calculator was not visible in gnome-shell menu, there was no such an icon.
According to the file /usr/share/applications/gcalctool.desktop it should be found from "accessories - calculator".

Then, I noticed the name of this launcher icon file: it is gcalctool.desktop.
It should be gnome-calculator.desktop.

Well, I changed the file name into gnome-calculator and it became immediately visible in the menu.

Have you notived this same issue.

PS. Note that I have removed the transitional package gcalctool, leaving only gnome-calculator left.
Also, I have found out that if Gnome3 and Gnome3 Staging PPA:s are purged the icon is visible in menu and there are no issues.

gnome-calculator (1:3.7.92-0ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low

* New upstream release.
- Rename gnome-calculator.desktop back to gcalctool.desktop

Your launcher icon (just an entry in gsettings) pointed to a non-existent file. Could as well replaced it (the launcher icon) or edited gsettings to reflect new name.
