Bug description:
  [Impact]

  While gnome-font-viewer can be started from command line, it fails to
  start via the .desktop file. The issue was fixed upstream via this
  commit:

  https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-font-viewer/commit/?id=acf919c

  The attached patch cherry picks that commit.

  [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  --version
  GNOME Font Viewer 3.16.2

  - starting from command-line: no problems.
  - starting from dash: application is shown in launcher but kills itself.
  - /var/log/syslog shows ...
