Just retested the pathological case of this leak, which involves
creating and deleting desktop files as fast as you can (thousands of
times) via a script. In that case even the latest gnome-shell-extension-
desktop-icons still leaks badly. So the fix I had hopes for is not
enough:
Closing as wontfix for Disco, that's not a LTS serie and 19.10 is about
to turn stable, for those who need the fix it's recommended to upgrade
to the new serie

I think we might go via bug 1842904 before fixing this in disco.

Chris,
When the leak gets bad for you, does gnome-shell log much? If so then
what does it say?
journalctl -f /usr/bin/gnome-shell
I suspect I'm running into a second big leak in my investigations but
that one is only accompanied by certain log messages.
