Hello,
I have update the package like proposed and finaly all other proposed ones
too and I have exactly the same behavior than Jeremie Tamburini.
No more freeze, only drag n drop from/to Desktop to Nautilus doesn't work.
A good first step! : )
Thanks and merry christmas.

>   [Impact]
>
>   Drag and drop files from Desktop to Nautilus freezes gnome-shell in
>   Ubuntu 20.10. There is no way to recover without killing gnome-shell
>   externally or rebooting.
>
>   [Test Case]
>
>   1. Create a file in ~/Desktop
>   2. Open a nautilus (Files) window of a different directory.
>   3. Drag the new file from the desktop into the nautilus (Files) window.
>
>   The shell should not become unresponsive. Also, the drag is expected
>   to fail and snap back. That's a different issue (bug 1813441) not
>   being fixed here.

>   [Where problems could occur]
>
>   An extension with syntax errors may fail to load leaving the user with
