Before anyone asks... The intended design of desktop-icons-ng is to hide the icons in the overview, as they do after logging in (and more reliably in Xorg than Wayland sessions).
In future it would be really nice to show the icons in the overview, shrunken with the GNOME 40 desktop. But that's not the intended design of desktop-icons-ng and would require a lot more work. So that would be an enhancement for later not related to this bug. -- 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: Won't Fix Status in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package in Ubuntu: Opinion 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.
