bug#35853: gnome-tweaks unable to manage gnome shell extentions

[Jack Hill]

Hello Guix,

Today I noticed that gnome-tweaks in unable to manage gnome shell 
extensions. I have the gnome-shell-extensions package installed in my 
profile, but the extensions tab in tweaks says, "no extensions installed". 
However extensions are installed, and the two extensions I enabled 
previously continue to function.

Unfortunately, I don't know when it stopped working. The last time that I 
know it worked the gnome-tweaks package was called gnome-tweak-tool.

I tried running gnome-tweaks from a terminal, but that didn't show 
anything obvious.

Best,
Jack

I don't know why I didn't think the terminal output said anything useful. 
On a second look, it really does appear to:

```
$ gnome-tweaks

```

In particular, "Error detecting shell" only appears in the 
tweak_group_shell_extensions.py [0].

I haven't yet looked into why it's hitting those error conditions.

bug#35853: gnome-tweaks can now manage gnome-extentions

Hi Guix,

After the recent core-updates merge and update to gnome 3.30, the 
gnome-tweaks extension management is working again. Closing issue.

Best,
Jack
