Cannot login while this extension is enabled. Curiously, this happens only whith my wife's laptop. With mine, this not happens

Additional info:
* package version(s)
3.2.1-0

.xsession-errors produces a lot of lines that has:
(gnome-shell:5455): Clutter-CRITICAL **: clutter_actor_set_text_direction: assertion `text_dir != CLUTTER_TEXT_DIRECTION_DEFAULT' failed

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install this package
2. Logout then login
3. If it crashes in attempt to login, you could reproduce this bug, so try do disable the extension so that you can login again.

Found a solution here http://askubuntu.com/questions/78590/gnome-shell-menu-crashes

Not sure why but selecting a user profile picture is a work around

A patch is described here: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/gnome-shell-dock-and-alternative-status.html

[...]you can try to edit /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/alternative-status-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gnome.org/extension.js and change the "imports.mainloop.timeout_add" value from 9000 (9 seconds) to a higher value.[...]

i'm not interested to fix any of the extensions we have in repos. I'm in favor of dropping them all now that http://extensions.gnome.org exists.
Comment by ushi (ushi) - Tuesday, 31 January 2012, 12:55 GMT
hmm, i think they could be moved to the community repo or to the AUR
