gnome-shell-extension-tool: Fix example extension for 3.3.90 API (983 bytes, patch)

Description Parag AN 2012-03-18 05:43:46 UTC 
On Fedora 17 Alpha, I was trying to learn to create gnome-shell extension. I used command "gnome-shell-extension --create-extension". I named it like Example and it got UUID as Example@f17alpha. I enabled it using gnome-tweak-tool and check its debug log. Error said "TypeError: Main.panel._rightBox.insert_actor is nota function"

Also, debug log said missing 'url' entry in metadata.json

Was there any change in gnome-shell-3.3.90 version? I thought default creation of extension will work. But look like template has not changed to compatible with gnome-shell-3.3.90 version.

How to fix code to make default extension work?

insert_actor was replaced with the standard Clutter insert_child_at_index
