Without fixes user might be unable to unlock screen:

Or taking screenshots could dead lock gnome-flashback process:

GNOME Settings Daemon no longer directly manage `enable-animations`
setting from `org.gnome.desktop.interface` schema meaning GNOME
Flashback users can not disable animations. This release include
necessarily changes to restore functionality.

[Test Case]

Steps to reproduce screensaver problem:

Steps to reproduce screenshot/clipboard problem:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-flashback/-/issues/50

Steps to reproduce desktop icon rename problem:

Steps to reproduce desktop icon launch problem:

[Regression Potential]

Screenshot/clipboard fix should have low regression potential as fix
mostly moves clipboard out to separate process. Without fix whole
process can deadlock... Worst thing that could happen might be missing
clipboard and/or screenshot functionally. Even in such case that is
better than having whole process deadlocked losing other functionality.

Screensaver already has serious problem - inability to get back to
desktop. I can not imagine any regression that would be worse then
current situation.

Fix/improvement to desktop icon renaming with keybinding should not case
any functional regression. It is small change that adds extra key
handling to allow initiate desktop icon rename with keyboard shortcut.

[Other Info]
 
None.
