Indeed the source code suggests that error is from gnome-shell itself.
Next time the problem happens, please run:
journalctl -b0 > journal.txt
and then attach the resulting text file here.

Title:
Error message too short to understand what is wrong
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
This is on Ubuntu 20.10 (Groovy Gorilla). I placed a text file on my desktop,
and on clicking it, I was shown the error "Execution of
/home/myUsername/Desktop/.goutputstream-WU... Command not found".
Even on clicking the error message that popped up, it didn't expand to show
more details.
So basically, the bug I'm reporting is about error messages being too
short/obscure to be useful for users to figure out what the problem actually
is. Image attached. The black spot in the middle was added by me to obscure the
username.
(on a a side note, I was clicking a plain text document which had the
checkbox for "allow executing file as a program" ticked). Clicking any
other textfile didn't show this error.
