Hi Debian and Gnome enthousiasts :)<br>
<br>
<br>
Summary:<br>
Lock then unlock GNOME session result in all GNOME extensions to be
deactivated. Intermittent bug.<br>
<br>
Steps to reproduce:<br>
1. Install fresh Debian 8.8 Jessie<br>
<br>
2. Using <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://extensions.gnome.org">https://extensions.gnome.org</a> install and activate all the
following extensions:<br>
• <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/310/alt-tab-workspace/">https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/310/alt-tab-workspace/</a><br>

3. Lock GNOME session<br>
<br>
4. Unlock GNOME session. Notice that all extensions are now
deactivated :( Expected result is that they should remaining
activated per their configuration.<br>
<br>
5. Using "Tweak Tool"/"gnome-tweak-tool" re-activate all those
extensions. Restart GNOME by pressing "ALT-F2" keys, type "r", press
"Enter" key. The extensions are now working.<br>
<br>
6. Lock GNOME session again<br>
<br>
7. Unlock GNOME session again. Issue is reproduced again. All
extensions are deactivated. This bug is intermittent though. It
depends on various factors, including but not limited:<br>
• Which extensions are activated<br>
• Your personal configuration with "gnome-tweak-tool" and
"gnome-session" packages<br>
<br>
8. This issue can also be reproduce with rebooting, instead of lock
and unlock the session. Same steps to reproduce as above. But simply
reboot.<br>
<br>
<br>
What I tried that was effective but temporary:<br>
Here is a related Ubuntu ticket which includes some temporary fixes,
such as:<br>

<br>
What I tried that was ineffective:<br>
• Restart GNOME by pressing "ALT-F2" keys, type "r", press "Enter"
key.<br>
• Rebooting<br>
• Using Terminal as user, run "gnome-tweak-tool" to see if any
significant error where returned<br>

</style>• Activate the extension using <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://extensions.gnome.org">http://extensions.gnome.org</a>
insted of "Tweak Tool"/"gnome-tweak-tool"<br>
• Review “dconf-editor” for any suspicious configuration.
/org/gnome/shell/disable-user-extensions default value was already
set to “false”<br>
• I created a ticket at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1697229">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1697229</a><br>
After I created that ticket I realized that that launchpad seems to
be for Ubuntu. Since gnome-session is primarily maintain by
bugs.debian.org it seems more appropriate to create this ticket with
bugs.debian.org<br>
