Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Gnome Shell crashes at random times when the Desktop or home directory
  is modified, and the desktop-icons extension tries to refresh.

  https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/fcc5c581fc0a8c2f8f68314fa383690423a3dc02

  [Test Case]

  Open a nautilus (Files) window and tap Ctrl+H repeatedly. The shell
  should not crash or freeze.

  [Where problems could occur]

  An extension with syntax errors may fail to load leaving the user with
  reduced shell functionality. A more faulty extension might crash the
  entire shell after loading, like this bug.

  Sorry, I missed what was happening when this crashed.  I'll try to
  catch it next time.
