Hello.  I'm not sure if this is related, but when I launch calibre
(Ubuntu 16.04) the calibre icon shows up in my launcher, however, the
viewer icon also shows up and it seems that icon is what is actually
associated with the running instance of calibre.  I did move the viewer
icon into /usr/share/pixmaps and edited /usr/share/ebook-viewer.desktop
to use the viewer icon, but I'm still seeing the same behaviour (even
after a restart).  Right clicking on the calibre icon only give me the
options: 'calibre' and 'lock to launcher'.  Right clicking on the viewer
icon give me the options to 'quit' or 'lock to launcher'.  Strangely
though, when right clicking on the viewer icon, I have an option for one
of the last books I had open.  I don't know why this would matter, but
this behaviour started after I repositioned the viewer icon on my
launcher while I had a book open.  The book that was open at the time is
the same one that is showing up in the context menu when I right click
on it even after opening other books.  I've installed calibre from the
ubuntu repo through apt-get and have reinstalled, removed, purged, etc.
several times and the behaviour remains.  I'm at a bit of a loss and
hope it's related in some way to this bug and will be fixed in the near
future.  In the mean time, if there's a work-around, I'm all ears.  this
doesn't really affect my ability to use calibre, but it's super
frustrating.  I've included a screenshot, though it may be of minimal
help.  You can see that there isn't any book open and the calibre icon
(bottom left in launcher) doesn't have an indication next to it that
it's running.  You can also see the ebook viewer icon is active and
shows my python book open, though it's not.  If there's any info I can
provide or changes someone would want me to try, I'd be happy to help.
Thanks in advance for the help.

P.S. I apologize in advance for the giant screenshot.
