The bug doesn't happen in Wayland, which is why I created it for X11
specifically. I prefer to use Wayland but since I encountered the bug I
thought it would be helpful to file it, especially since I saw so many
others seemed to have the same problem:

screen-with-cursor-on-login

I didn't reinstall any extensions the day before yesterday. Maybe
system-monitor-next was upgraded? The Gnome extensions site is light on
details: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/3010/system-monitor-
next/

You asked me to completely delete the files for custom extensions
instead of disabling them; I didn't realise a disabled extension could
break Gnome. But then for Ubuntu extensions I'm only supposed to disable
them?

You also said something about wallpapers. I can disable my wallpaper if
need be. I've been using the same wallpaper since 22.04 so it's odd it
would break Gnome now.

At any rate I'll do my best to follow your instructions when I'm able
but I rely on many of these extensions throughout the day so it's going
to be a bit tedious to use my computer without the dock, desktop, etc.
