gnome-shell: JS ERROR: ReferenceError: GLib is not defined

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño)]

[ Impact ]

Gnome-shell in Bionic spams the journal with error such as:

giu 05 17:33:24 tricky gnome-shell[4049]: JS ERROR: ReferenceError: GLib is not defined
                                          _sliderChanged/this._notifyVolumeChangeId<@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/status/volume.js:163:17

When changing the volume scrolling over the volume indicator.

[ Test case ]

- Run `journalctl -ef -b0 /usr/bin/gnome-shell`
- Scroll with the mouse over the volume indicator
- No error should be spammed by gnome-shell metnioning a ReferenceError

[ Regression potential ]

None, a JS include is missing, and adding it can't canuse any trouble.

Does this mean that the fix for the bug in cosmic is not present in the 3.30.2-0ubuntu1.18.10.1 gnome-shell upload (currently in -proposed)?
