Ooops, the patch in comment #9 may be unreliable because you could have
two racing enable() calls and the first one hasn't flagged isEnabled yet
because innerEnable was deferred:
if (Main.layoutManager._startingUp) {
this.data.startupPreparedId =
Main.layoutManager.connect('startup-complete', () => this.innerEnable());
} else {
this.data.startupPreparedId = null;
this.innerEnable();
}
You may need a separate 'started' flag or something like that, which is
true immediately unlike 'isEnabled'.
Also we should move this discussion to

Title:
Desktop switching shows windows from previous desktop
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
When I switch to another virtual desktop using Ctrl-Alt-[Left,Right],
the windows from my previous desktop remain there and are still
visible as if they were part of the desktop background. In front of
them, I can see my actual windows from the desktop that I'm visiting
currently. Desktop icons overlap the windows in the background.
I can't interact with the windows in the background but their content
is updated live as the applications are running.
Switching desktops using the Activities overview works correctly as
expected without this issue.
