Basically what I did was to check whether the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is set to "default.desktop" and if it is, then set it to "gnome".
That worked in my case for Mint17, so I guess that the value of XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is different in your environment. This is quite weird as we are both running Mint17, I suppose.
Can you please post the output of echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ?
Thanks a lot for the comment Alin.
