[DING on Arch Wayland] Pop Shell extension showing GJS icon when ALT+TAB is pressed

[D3vil0p3r]

(1) Issue/Bug Description:
I'm using Arch Linux with GNOME 42.5 with Wayland. I just installed pop-shell extension by AUR package gnome-shell-extension-pop-shell-git.

When Pop Shell is enabled as extension and on the system is also installed and enabled the GNOME extension Desktop Icons NG (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2087/desktop-icons-ng-ding/), when users press ALT+TAB combo key for switching between applications (also if we dont have any opened window), a GJS icon appears:

This behavior disappears when I disable Pop Shell extension.

How is it possible to fix it?

Does disabling the Show Minimize to Tray Windows option in the Pop Shell extension settings work as a workaround?

Yes. It works correctly. Should I close this ticket?

I believe the hard-coded list here will exclude windows from the Show Minimize to Tray Window (a.k.a. Skip Taskbar) feature:

shell/src/config.ts

Line 74 in 886a069

export const SKIPTASKBAR_EXCEPTIONS: Array<WindowRule> = [

However, I'm not 100% sure it can be used in this situation. I remembered this issue being brought up before, and it was mentioned (alongside a more prominent issue) in this report: #1056

It sounds like this current issue may also be related, but poorly named: #776

The exclusion list requires that the "window" can be uniquely identified with the class and/or title (just gjs would be too generic and would catch many other GNOME Shell extension windows), so that might have been the issue, or it could be something to do with the Alt-Tab switcher specifically since tiling isn't catching this window.

Yes.

I was not fully update because GNOME 43 on Arch has been released some days ago. @jacobgkau should I keep the ticket opened or close?
