** Description changed:
+ [ Impact ]
+
+ * The Ubuntu Dock "Show overview on startup" switch (dash-to-dock
+ disable-overview-on-startup) is not honored on GNOME 50 and later:
+ turning it off still animates the overview at every login, and the
+ overview state can end up stuck at activities picker.
+
+ * Backporting the upstream dash-to-dock commit 6dd941ce (fixing
+ upstream issue #2582): the dock now temporarily overrides the
+ OverviewAdjustment value to HIDDEN while the startup animation runs,
+ and restores it right after, instead of mutating the shell state
+ once in a way the new startup sequence overrides.
+
+ [ Test Plan ]
+
+ * On the affected version the login still shows the overview animation
+ instead of landing directly on the desktop.
+
+ * With the fix, the session starts straight on the desktop; repeat the
+ relogin a few times and also verify the overview still works normally
+ afterwards (Super key, Activities) and that with the switch on its
+ default value the startup behaviour is unchanged.
+
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+
+ * The override is a property injection active only during the startup
+ animation and removed when it completes; if that removal misfires,
+ the overview could stay hidden after login (Super key not opening
+ it) until the shell is restarted.
+
+ * The injection is only applied when the option is enabled, so the
+ default startup path is untouched.
+
+ [ Other Info ]
+
+ * The same commit is already in stonking via
+ gnome-shell-ubuntu-extensions 51.26.10.1ubuntu (Fix Released here);
+ this SRU only backports it to earlier releases.
+
+ * Users wanting the opposite (overview shown at startup) on GNOME 50
+ need the shell-side start-in-overview setting instead; this fix only
+ restores the "skip" behaviour.
