After grokking the gnome documentation and poking around the filesystem
some more, there appears to be an undocumented way to disable the
desktop-icons extension to fix the workaround.
In /usr/share/gnome-shell/modes/ there is a json file ubuntu.json. It
has a list of enabled extensions one of which is the desktop-icons
extension. It looks like this:
{
"parentMode": "user",
"stylesheetName": "Yaru/gnome-shell.css",
"themeResourceName": "theme/Yaru/gnome-shell-theme.gresource",
"debugFlags": ["backtrace-crashes-all"],
"enabledExtensions": ["[email protected]",
"[email protected]", "desktop-icons@csoriano"]
}
Editing ubuntu.json and removing the entry and extra comma for desktop-icons
allows nemo to provide desktop icons and drag/drop functionality that was
previously non-functional.
