Renaming a desktop item causes the shell to hang

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño)]

Right click on a desktop icon and rename it:
 - The shell will hang and there's no way to recover it

[Sergio Costas (rastersoft-gmail)]

I did several tries yesterday, but none of them worked. First I tried to remove the "emit" calls and the "addSignalMethods" in desktopGrid, just in case the problem was an incompatibility with the new class system in Gnome Shell 3.34. Also removed all the grabHelper calls, but also didn't work. The problem seems to be the text entry, that is not editable.
