Ubuntu dock won't start after Dash to dock uninstalled

[frenchy82]

[ Impact ]

Uninstall Dash to dock without deactivating will not restore ubuntu dock

[ Test Case ]

* Install this version from proposed
* Log out/in in again to load new code
* Install or enable dash to dock via Tweaks or any other 3rd party tool
-> Ubuntu Dock should disappears, Dash to Dock is shown
* Uninstall dash to dock without disabling it
-> Ubuntu Dock should appears once Dash to Dock vanishes

[ Regression Potential ]

The impacted code is the code already doing the detection, but basing on running extensions rather than the gsettings key. So, it doesn't impact other code.

-------

On the attached file, We can see that the value "dash to dock" is still present in this key despite its uninstallation.

I need to select the "use default" switch for the dock to reappear in the gsetting key / org / gnome / shell / enabled-extensions

Unduplicating, this is a separate issue.

This works (0.7.1)!! :D Thanks Didier! Can now switch Dash to Dock on and off from the GNOME Extensions website and it works seamlessly!

The only flaw is that someone who has already run into this bug will have to logout, login, AND ALSO turn Dash to Dock on and off in GNOME Extensions (or turn it off in GNOME Tweak) to get the Ubuntu Dock back. Also, turning off Dash to Dock on the website does turn it off on the system but doesn't flick the switch in GNOME Tweak, this may be a wider bug, however.

However: potential regression, haven't run into this bug before: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock/+bug/1724070/comments/5

No scratch that, that's caused by enabling and disabling Dash to Dock and Dash to Panel simultaneously.
