Description Tadej Janež 2012-03-16 11:39:38 UTC
Description of problem:
After manually installing a Gnome Shell Extension, gnome-tweak-tools offers a "Restart" option.
Pressing Restart doesn't have an effect, the newly installed Shell Extension is not visible.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-tweak-tool-3.3.4-1.fc17.noarch
gnome-shell-3.3.90-2.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open gnome-tweak-tool.
2. In Shell Extensions click on button with folder.
3. Choose some file with extension to install it
4. Press "Restart"

Actual results:
Nothing happens, Gnome Shell is not restarted. The newly installed Shell Extension is not visible.

Expected results:
The Restart button should have restarted the Gnome Shell and make the newly installed Shell Extension visible (so the user can enable it).

Additional info:
Distribution: Fedora
