This sort of works

closes #1428

Added a link to the issue, just so it shows up there if someone wants to help out :)

[fabianhjr]

Just an FYI, I'm a bit stump on how to upgrade so anyone else that wants to propose/try another solution feel free to go ahead.

How about something like this?

// Since GNOME 43: aggregateMenu -> quickSettings
if (Main.panel.statusArea.quickSettings)
    const AggregateMenu = Main.panel.statusArea.quickSettings;
else
    const AggregateMenu = Main.panel.statusArea.aggregateMenu;

For anyone looking to contribute to this PR, note that you will probably want to do more that just swap aggregateMenu with quickSettings, since this is a new API.

We have a short tutorial on how to use this API on gjs.guide with examples. It may not end up being exactly compatible with GSConnect's eccentric GMenu implementation though.

I don't think quality of my code is good enough for a PR so I'm not creating one. Here's my commit if you want to use it while official support comes: MacTavishAO@5b381ff

Way better than what little I have been able to do. Can't currently work on this further.

@MacTavishAO Apparently your code quality is good enough according to @fabianhjr. Please create a new PR.

I'm reworking on it. I will in couple of hours.
