Public bug reported: In my laptop, gjs is using lots of CPU resources (about 13% in my case) and I cannot stop it. Keeping the mouse over it, it seems to be related to the Desktop extension. I also attached a screeshot showing that. I tried Alt+F2 & r, nothing changes in this regard; I tried disabling the extension and Alt+F2 & r, nothing changes. Restart works. When this happens, the mouse cannot interact with the desktop icons. For instance, when I moved one file, it was still shown on the Desktop, although I have already moved it with Nautilus/Files.
I have a theory: I use the desktop to temporary store files, also my screen recording software creates the files on the Desktop. One time, when I moved in Nautilus the file from the Desktop to my working folders, this bug was triggered. Maybe it was a coincidence, but it sure looked like that. My idea is that the extension does not properly work with other programs interacting with the desktop and it somehow crashes instead or re-scanning the files over there and paint them correctly.
