Bug#996401: gnome-shell-extension-prefs: Gnome extensions app fails to open in Wayland but opens in X11

[Justin Searle]

Package: gnome-shell-extension-prefs
Version: 40.5-1+b1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian at meeas.com

Dear Maintainer,

Sometime between the first Sid release of verion 40.* of this extension
and the current version, it stopped working in Wayland.  It has been
approximately 1 month since it stopped working.  When I first upgraded
to 40.*, the new extensions app (since the split from tweaks) was working fine.

Today I decided to dig into it.  Here is what I've tried: 

 - I am unable to test the experimental version 41.* on this machine because of 
 current critical bugs gnome-shell from the bug reports.

 - Running 'journalctl -f' reveals no messages when trying to start the 
 extensions app from gui or commandline

 - Trying to rule out user configs, I created a new user but extensions
   app still did not load

 - I switched from Wayland to X11 and extensions app works fine

 - Changed back to Wayland and extensions app failed to work again

If you can't recreate the issue on Wayland, I'm happy to try other
suggestions you may have.
