gnome-calculator and several of the gnome-games have been renamed this cycle (five-or-more, four-in-a-row, gnome-chess, gnome-klotski, gnome-mahjongg, gnome-mines, gnome-nibbles, gnome-robots, and tali). The issues this causes had been previously discussed [1] but we did not come to a final resolution.
Since we don't have a way yet to automatically migrate the numerous places the old names could be stored in user configs, I'd like to ask for a freeze break to revert these filenames back to their 3.6 versions. The changes this cycle broke user "favorites." This isn't just a GNOME Shell problem as the GNOME Calculator and games are widely used on Unity, XFCE, and the other GNOME spinoffs. It also breaks setups where users have added a Calculator shortcut to their desktop or set a custom global keybinding to launch the Calculator (Super+C perhaps). >From an end user perspective, the exact file name of the .desktop shouldn't matter; it's only sysadmins and "power users" who would need to worry about such details and it shouldn't be too difficult for them to use grep (or some other search tool) to figure out that gcalctool.desktop is the one with Exec=gnome-calculator. For gnome-calculator, the tracking bug (with otherwise approved patch) is at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695382 I apologize for not having the gnome-games bugs and patches ready yet but I didn't want to postpone this request even longer.
