Bug#1109946: Acknowledgement (gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng: Desktop icons have disappeared)
Also relevant: this happens even when I disable all of my other GNOME shell extensions.

Probably relevant: when I save a new file in ~/Desktop, it takes at least 30 seconds for the icon for that file to show up on my desktop, and while I'm waiting for that to happen I get several pop-ups from GNOME telling me that gjs isn't responding and asking me if I want to force quit it. Similarly, when I click on a file on my desktop and hit the delete key, it takes like 30 seconds for the icon for the file to disappear, though it appears that the file is actually deleted immediately.

This is very weird. I'm using my computer this morning when all of the sudden voop! I see an animation occur on my desktop out of the corner of my eye, and when I shift my eyes to look at the spot where the animation happened, my desktop icons are back! I didn't do anything to cause them to reappear, they just reappeared. Then I logged out and logged back in and they were gone again.
