I am running Ubuntu 17.04 Unity, and I get "unknown application" in Writer regardless of whether I start it up from the dock or from a document. With Calc, I only get it when starting up from a document. Not sure it matters, but my 17.04 is an upgrade from 16.10, not a fresh install. I have a laptop with 16.04 installed, and I don't get the "unknown application" bug in either Writer or Calc regardless of how I start them up.

I also get this with GNOME apps but was told that this is a separate issue to the one I reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome- calculator/+bug/1584720 (see comment #5). The issue is with using Indicator Applet Appmenu in the panel on gnome-flashback installed on standard Ubuntu (which I call Ubuntu (GNOME) Flashback).
