Bug Description

In Ubuntu 23.04 (gnome-shell 44), the extension now refuses to load with an error:

"Requiring namespace Gtk version 3.0, but 4.0 is already loaded"

I've tried disabling all other extensions and it still fails.

This seems strange as I don't think gnome-shell's GTK usage has changed in 44 vs 43, and the upstream workrave github indicates gnome-shell 44 is supported. But workrave definitely still uses Gtk 3, so I'm not sure where things are going wrong.

I can verify that backporting https://github.com/rcaelers/workrave/commit/5fe6e9c0060cae3a4bf1210c92c26b01022ddb1e with the minor adjustment to remove the metadata.json change (or drop that patch from the series) produces a working build.
