Lenses shortcuts not working in singular cases (e.g. Super+A)

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Basic test case:
1. Start a clean Ubuntu session
2. Press Super+A to open the application lens
    -> Notice that nothing happens
3. Subsequent keybinding presses work normally

It seems that the lenses are not loaded yet right after startup, so the CheckShortcutActivation() dash method does not result in any action, as the lenses_ list is more or less yet empty. Or maybe some other reason?

But that's not the only case when it happens. On jenkins autopilot builder environments it has been noticed that unity.tests.test_search.ApplicationLensSearchTests.test_application_lens_search(basic) fails every time during every build because the Super+A keybinding not working. All subsequent uses of Super+A after this one test work properly.

For now, a work-around is proposed:
