[Bug 1790996] Re: JS ERROR: ImportError: No JS module 'desktop' found in search path#012

[shemgp]

I can confirm that in the build of gnome-shell using the contents of
this patch allows launching of preferences of gnome-shell extensions
again.

Changed the debdiff to update the previous
debian/patches/ubuntu/desktop_detect.patch to add the required
<file>mist/desktop.js</file> to js/prefs-resources.gresource.xml.
