UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
The patch is as simple as replace the `destroy()` call with `close()`,
as specified in the error message.
[Test plan]
* Install `gnome-extensions-app` and open it
* In the `Desktop Icons NG` entry, press the three dots button to show the
extra options, and click on `Preferences`.
* The extension app will show that error.
[ Where problems could occur ]
The only problem that maybe could occur is, in the worst case, that
the element isn't fully destroyed at the end of its lifetime, thus
adding a little extra memory consumption until the `Preferences` are
opened again.
