[Bug 1882375] Re: Cinnamon custom keyboard shortcuts don't work until logout

[Joshua Peisach]

[Impact]

 * The users who manually set their own Keyboard Shortcuts will not have them applied until a full
 reset of Cinnamon occurs.
 * This can be very annoying and the code insertion is a line that will trigger Cinnamon to
 rebuild for the user.

[Test Case]

 * The bug is simply reproducable by changing a Keyboard Shortcut and testing it. It will likely
 not work until you log out and log in again.

[Regression Potential]

 * Through this change it looks like there won't be any regression. Later on I will backport more
 patches added to cinnamon.

 * Regression will EVENTUALLY probably happen, or will only happen later on when this version of Cinnamon becomes ancient, but not in the anytime future
 
 * The updated version of this patch actually fixes a regression-we should be okay.

[Other Info]

 * Backporting patch from Linux Mint upstream, solved a few other issues
 * This is a FIXED patch to not mess up other patches and it also fixes a (probably) regression.

Title:
  Cinnamon custom keyboard shortcuts don't work until logout

Status in cinnamon package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
  Release:	20.04
  cinnamon: 4.4.8-4
  cinnamon-settings-daemon: 4.4.0-3

  Steps to Reproduce:
  - on Cinnamon desktop, run cinnamon-settings
  - go to Keyboard > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts
  - add a custom shortcut, or edit the command or shortcut of an existing custom shortcut

  Expected behavior:
  the shortcut should become active immediately

  Actual behavior:
  the shortcut does not work until you log out and log in again

  This seems similar to bug #1243532, but I'm reporting this as a new
  bug now because it is cinnamon-specific. Other shortcuts (e.g. Close
  Window) are updated immediately, this only affects custom shortcuts. I
  think this bug appeared in 20.04.
