Title:
  font viewer starred from dash: Unknown option --gapplication-service

Status in Gnome Font Viewer:
  Unknown
Status in gnome-font-viewer package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-font-viewer source package in Xenial:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  While gnome-font-viewer can be started from command line, it fails to
  start via the .desktop file. As can be seen in comment #3, it seems to
  be related to DBus somehow.

  The problem is not present in version 3.20.2-1 in yakkety, and since
  there is no obvious single commit in the upstream source which could
  be patched, the proposal is to backport the yakkety version as an SRU.
  It's built in this PPA:

  https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/font-viewer

  and there are no runtime dependency blockers.

  [Test Case]

  Try to start gnome-font-viewer from the Dash and find that the launch
  fails.

  After having installed the proposed upload, starting the application
  from the Dash works fine.

  [Regression Potential]

  gnome-font-viewer is an independent tool, which doesn't affect other
  parts of the system. Hence the regression risk should be low.

  [Original description]

  Ubuntu 16.04.1 Fully updated.

  GNOME Font Viewer 3.16.2

  - starting from command-line: no problems.
  - starting from dash: application is shown in launcher but kills itself.
