I don't know about 18.04/Gnome3, but I've been running Calibre with no significant problems on 16.04 (actually I'm running LinuxMint 18.1 which is based on Ubuntu 16.04) using the Mate desktop (which is based on Gnome 2). Not exactly the setup you are running, but fairly close. I have never had to logout/login to make a new version of Calibre active. The only problem I have is that ocassionally (maybe one out of every 30 attempts) when I try to convert an AZW3 to EPUB Calibre crashes. I restart Calibre, and the conversion works just fine on the second attempt, and continues working for another 30 or so conversions before the next crash. I'm just guessing at that 30 number - it could be 40, 50, 60 or 20. It is infrequent enough that it doesn't bother me. So Calibre is not 100% perfect and stable in my experience, but it is about 99.9% perfect and stable.
