Show Personal Folder = off doesn't work

[Linda]

In Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, if

settings -> appearance -> Desktop Icons -> Show Personal Folder = off,

this doesn't work. The subfolders of /home/user are still showing on the desktop.

In dconf-editor, /org/gnome/shell/extensions/ding/show-home = off.

The following also has no effect:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.ding show-home false

This worked:

gnome-extensions disable <email address hidden>

But then, if I create a ~/Desktop folder and put files in it, they don't appear on the desktop, even if I have edited
~/.config/user-dirs.dirs to have XDG_DESKTOP.DIR="$HOME/Desktop"

I don't think all these things are working together, or aware of each other:

ubuntu settings
gnome
XDG
<email address hidden>

In particular, maybe <email address hidden> broke this, although I can't be sure, but it seems to not handle well an empty /home/user/Desktop folder or a /home/user folder without a Desktop folder, where the user does not want any (home folder) icons to show on the Desktop. I hope they will please fix this.
