Comment 24 for bug 1872796

I am running Ubuntu Focal 20.04. The gnome-shell version is 3.36.2-1ubuntu1-20.04.1. The desktop icons version is 20.04.0-2-1ubuntu1-20.04.1. The app does not work. I believe the app is designed to work on per user extensions only.

The desktop icon extension is installed as a system extension in /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions.

See the review by akram87 on the page https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1465/desktop-icons/

But that is not the point. All I am trying to achieve is to gather information about the impact the ubuntu version of the extension has on the desktop rendering. The easiest way for the user to do this is by issuing one simple command.

sudo mv /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/desktop-icons@csoriano something-else

If I am missing something here please accept my apologies.
