GNOME 3.30 is almost ready for release and we're starting to upload
components of the 3.29.92 release candidate to unstable, so I'm raising
the severity to serious. Upstream merged a pull request that claims to
fix this, https://github.com/deadalnix/pixel-saver/pull/174 (I have not
reviewed or tested it).

Bug#905109: gnome-shell-extension-pixelsaver: global.screen is not available in GNOME Shell 3.29

2018-07-31 Thread Simon McVittie
Package: gnome-shell-extension-pixelsaver
Version: 1.10+git20161217-49f47bf-1
Severity: important

According to codesearch.debian.net, this extension uses the MetaScreen
via global.screen. MetaScreen no longer exists in GNOME 3.29, which is
starting to become available in experimental. This extension will need
code changes to use the MetaDisplay (global.display),
MetaWorkspaceManager (global.workspace_manager), MetaMonitorManager
(Meta.MonitorManager.get()) or MetaX11Display
(global.display.get_x11_display()).

Because GNOME 3.29/3.30 is not a stable release yet and is not in
Debian unstable yet, you'll probably need to condition on the GNOME
Shell version.
