Description Erick Perez Castellanos 2011-05-06 12:44:59 UTC 
Well, there not so much to tell, the extension isn't working.

My specs:
OS: Linux
Distro: Archlinux
Gnome-Shell: version 3.0.1
Git clone of gnome-shell-extensions: up to date, today.

And ... don't know what else to put in here since all this is pretty straightforward.

I attach the patch you consider the fact.

For some explanation on the patch, although I think isn't required, the problem was the wrong attribute to remove and replace in the extension.

Thxs

Mmhh actually you haven't attached anything...

Probably your patch is something like this:

-   let statusMenu = Main.panel._userMenu;
+   let statusMenu = Main.panel._statusmenu;

But this is not a bug, you are simply using an old version of gnome-shell: you need the git version of the shell if you want to use the git version of the extensions. See also http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/commit/?id=9d5906dae3b4339f4f8a8a39d54c99de8ea99369
