Title:
Logging in to GNOME 40.2.0 causes desktop icon extension to show as

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
