Public bug reported:
Upon upgrading to Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 from 13.04 using do-release-
upgrade, a bunch of extensions were added automatically to my system in
/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions that were owned by root and thus
couldn't be removed using Tweak Tool or the GNOME Shell Extensions
website (on the website, clicking the X button didn't even throw an
error, just did nothing). All of the automatically installed extensions
were written by gcampax. I'm not sure if the bundling of extensions in
Ubuntu GNOME is intentional or not, but if it is, these extensions
should be owned by the user account so that they can be removed by the
common methods rather than only by removing the folders manually.
