Thank you for reporting this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I have just pushed a switcheroo-control package to the GNOME3 Staging PPA for zesty for you to try out. (Give it an hour or so to build and publish.) I don't have a dual-GPU computer so I'm dependent on people like you to let me know if things work.

Here's the package description I have. Could you help fill in the blank?

Description: D-Bus service to check the availability of dual-GPU
 For systems that have both an integrated GPU and a dedicated GPU, this
 package by default will force the integrated GPU to be used to save power.
 .
 You can launch individual apps using the dedicated GPU by ___________
 Or you can right-click on the app in GNOME Shell's Activities Overview
 and choose the "Launch using Dedicated Graphics Card" option.
 .
 If this default behavior is not appropriate, uninstall this package or
 set xdg.force_integrated=0 as a kernel command-line option in your
 bootloader.
