Bug Description

It's essentially this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1796265

When I lock my Ubuntu (Super+L) and then unlock it, all extensions except AppIndicators are "grey enabled". Not disabled, but grey.

I have a fairly standard Ubuntu fresh install (6 days old) and I did nothing fancy except the following:

```
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-new-windows 'smart'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences auto-raise 'true'
```

I'm not directly familiar with grey-enabled but the usual explanation is that some extension crashed. Please start by deleting all local extensions:

  cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/
  rm -rf extensions

and then log in again. Does the bug still occur?
