* Some notes on using and writing Gnome3 extensions
** Activating, reactivating, and reloading extensions
   Remember you may need to activate or reactivate an extension by
   using 'gnome-tweaks' (shouldn't need 'dconf-editor', but who knows
   -- there are so many tools, and their names change over time;
   'gnome-tweaks' used to be 'gnome-tweak-tool' for example).

   In some cases, you may need to restart Gnome entirely.  Note that
   'Alt-F2 r RET' will no longer restart the Gnome Shell, because
   Wayland.  Instead, you have to log out of Gnome and log back in.
   https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1137/gnome-shell-extension-reloader/
   (see dev site at https://nls1729.github.io/extension-reloader.html)
   is another possible solution.

   See also [[https://itsfoss.com/gnome-shell-extensions/][How to Use GNOME Shell Extensions (Complete Guide)]] by
   Abhishek Prakash (2020-09-21).
** Writing new extensions  
   Use 'gnome-shell-extension-tool --create-extension' to create a new
   extension.  See also [[Argos]], a framework for building certain common
   kinds of extensions.
* Argos
  I did

    $ git clone git@github.com:p-e-w/argos.git
    $ ln -s argos/argos@pew.worldwidemann.com .
    $ svn add svn add argos@pew.worldwidemann.com/@

  to work around its unusual checkout setup.
  
  Since upstream Argos may not always have the latest GNOME versions
  in its 'metadata.json' file, I maintain my own upstream clone at
  git@code.librehq.com:kfogel/argos.git.  The 'gnome-version-updates'
  branch there will always have the latest (when upstream updates its
  GNOME version, I'll just force-push to that branch in my clone).

  As of [2020-10-21], I haven't implemented ~/bin/set-up-workspaces 
  using Argos, but that is the eventual plan.  I just need to do a
  GNOME restart first to get Argos working at all.  Thanks, Wayland.

* Set Up Workspaces (my own custom extension)
  See kfogel-desktop-setup@kfogel.red-bean.com/, but it stopped
  working in October 2020.  I added "3.38" and "3.38.1" to
  metadata.json, and that still didn't work, and 'gnome-tweaks' says
  that the extension is giving errors (but doesn't say what those
  errors are.
* top-bar-script-executor (unused; probably obsolete)
  I explored top-bar-script-executor/ (see that subdirectory here),
  but its upstream https://github.com/Curly-/Top-bar-script-executor
  has vanished (!), and I'd rather have a more general solution
  anyway.  Argos seems to be that, so I'm going with Argos for now.

  I got the code by downloading its zip file for GNOME 3.24 from the
  [[https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1154/top-bar-script-executor/][top-bar-script-executor GNOME extension page]].  That downloaded the
  file 'scriptexec@samb1999.hotmail.co.uk.v4.shell-extension.zip',
  which I unpacked into the 'top-bar-script-executor' subdirectory
  here.  I have left the 'metadata.json' file as-is, which means it
  probably won't work with any of the GNOME versions I'm using now.

  See also the [[https://github.com/raujonas/executor][executor]] extension, which apparently is similar.
* Remove Username

* Disable Window Animations
  [2013-11-20 Wed] No longer needed for Gnome 3.8.  In dconf-editor,
  just change org.gnome.desktop.interface.enable-animations (see
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655746 for more).
* Pidgin Desktop Notifications
  git@github.com:githubnemo/Pidgin-Persistent-Notification.git
  pidgin-persistent-notification@ikkoku.de
* Disable Workspace Switcher Popup
  Disables the arrow popup displayed during window switching in Gnome Shell 3.
