This is recurring in the log. I wonder if there are more Desktop files than it can handle:

Please:

1. Attach a copy of the file: ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

2. Run:

   find ~/Desktop -type f | wc -l

   and tell us the resulting number.

Also I expect this will make the problem stop (and hide the desktop icons):

  gnome-extensions disable <email address hidden>
