Bug Description
[Impact]
Gnome Shell crashes at random times when the Desktop or home directory is modified, and the desktop-icons extension tries to refresh.
https:/
[Test Case]
Open a nautilus (Files) window and tap Ctrl+H repeatedly. The shell should not crash or freeze.
[Where problems could occur]
An extension with syntax errors may fail to load leaving the user with reduced shell functionality. A more faulty extension might crash the entire shell after loading, like this bug.
[Other Info]

Sorry, I missed what was happening when this crashed. I'll try to catch it next time.
