Public bug reported:

## Steps to reproduce ##

1. On bionic, apt install -y indicator-multiload
2. Run indicator-multiload

lsb_release -d: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
gnome-shell version: 3.28.4-0ubuntu18.04.1
indicator-multiload version: 0.4-0ubuntu5


## Actual result ##

Whole desktop crashes.

gnome-shell dies with SIGABRT, logging this assertion failure:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1787512


## Expected result ##

An applet appears, showing CPU/RAM load graphs.

If not that -- an error is reported.

If not that -- gnome-shell continues to work, rather than crashing and
destroying everything unsaved I've been working on.

The desktop should not crash because of one shitty program. Especially
so if that program puts itself into ~/.config/autostart -- effectively
rendering the OS dead to a simpleton user.
