Public bug reported:
In my laptop, gjs is using lots of CPU resources (about 13% in my case) and I
cannot stop it. Keeping the mouse over it, it seems to be related to the
Desktop extension. I also attached a screeshot showing that. I tried Alt+F2 &
r, nothing changes in this regard; I tried disabling the extension and Alt+F2 &
r, nothing changes. Restart works.
When this happens, the mouse cannot interact with the desktop icons. For
instance, when I moved one file, it was still shown on the Desktop, although I
have already moved it with Nautilus/Files.
I have a theory: I use the desktop to temporary store files, also my
screen recording software creates the files on the Desktop. One time,
when I moved in Nautilus the file from the Desktop to my working
folders, this bug was triggered. Maybe it was a coincidence, but it sure
looked like that. My idea is that the extension does not properly work
with other programs interacting with the desktop and it somehow crashes
instead or re-scanning the files over there and paint them correctly.
