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.
