It would indeed. But with that said, there are Ubuntu users who prefer "vanilla" GNOME, so even if changing the startup experience for standard-Ubuntu users would make this bug less important, it's still an Ubuntu interest that it's fixed sooner or later. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1936643 Title: Logging in to GNOME 40.2.0 causes desktop icon extension to show as application in Activities overview Status in Gnome Shell Extension Desktop Icons Ng: Unknown Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package in Ubuntu: Opinion Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: In Ubuntu 21.10 Impish Indri, I have done today's updates, including GNOME 40, and when I rebooted, I saw the desktop icons in the Activities overview that has the grey gears icon and the gibberish name. However, when I clicked on it, I'm taken to the desktop. When I open the Activities overview again, that "application" didn't show up. I suspect that this "application" came from a GNOME extension that handles desktop icons, called gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng. Because I thought that it loaded AFTER the Activities overview opened at log in. This repeats every time I reboot or just log off and log back in. Steps to reproduce: 1. Update the Impish system to the latest version 2. Reboot 3. Log in Expected results: The "application" that came from the desktop icon shell extension doesn't appear in the Activities overview Actual results: This "application" shows up in the overview with the grey gears icon and the gibberish name every time a user signs in to the new GNOME 40 desktop lsb_release -rd: Description: Ubuntu Impish Indri (development branch) Release: 21.10 apt-cache policy gnome-shell: gnome-shell: Installed: 40.2-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 40.2-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 40.2-1ubuntu1 500 500 http://sy.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status If there is any more information needed, let me know.
