I rebooted multiple times and no luck.

Here are the steps I followed :

- Used sudo apt remove gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons to uninstall

- Deleted the folder $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/desktop-
icons@csoriano

- Rebooted and verified it is gone all together from tweaks

- Downloaded the .zip patch file and placed in a local directory

- Rerean the Meson/Ninja commands and verified that the .local folder
was recreated (I did not get any errors)

- Rebooted again.

At this point I still do not have desktop icons as a choice at all in
Tweaks -> extensions.  If I go to the website
(https://extensions.gnome.org/) then it is not listed in the installed
extensions list.  If I search for it and try to turn it on with the web
page I get a message that says "Can't install "desktop-icons@csoriano" :
This is an extension enabled by your current mode, you can't install
manually any update in that session"

So basically I am stuck with no option to turn it back on.  I suspect I
can just run sudo apt install and readd that way, but it will be the
same /usr install.    Am I missing something?
