Replacing the old forward-ported desktop icons extension with Desktop Icons NG (ding) seems to fix this issue. This issue is now present on RHEL 9.1, since the GNOME Classic session was changed to include the desktop icons extension. I finally had time to look into this. The problem is a bad interaction with the background-logo extension. In a regular session, the desktop-icons extensions is usually enabled after the other one (unless you first turn off the logo extension, enable desktop-icons, then re-enable the logo). That combination happens to work fine. But in the classic session, desktop-icons are enabled via the session mode, which takes precedence over user extensions. So here desktop-icons are enabled before the background-logo, and as a result the desktop icons are destroyed when the logo extensions recreates the backgrounds. I will come up with a fix. FWIW, I cannot reproduce the issue on a fresh 9.1 VM with gnome-shell-40.10-4 and gnome-shell-extensions-40.7-3.

I did have some changes to the system from previous tests like a classification banner and likely other superficial things. Tried again on a 100% fresh RHEL 9.2 VM and this time around and I can reproduce it every time. Potentially a regression? Sorry for the potential confusion. gnome-shell-extensions-40.7-4.el9 fixed the issue described in the bug report. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

Created attachment 1922062 [details] 3 log files combined Description of problem: In the GNOME Classic session, the desktop icons shell extension is inactive after screen lock/unlock. This happens on both X11 and Wayland Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons 40.7-2.el9 gnome-shell 40.10-3.el9 How reproducible: As far as I can tell this is a machine-independent issue that should be reproducible everywhere. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in to GNOME Classic session (either Wayland or X11) 2. Lock screen 3. Unlock using password Actual results: Desktop icons do not appear and right-clicking on desktop does not produce menu Expected results: When right-clicking on the desktop, there should be a menu with "New Folder", "Show Desktop in Files", etc. Additional info: Three systemd log files are attached. "login.txt" details a normal login in which the desktop icons appear. "lockunlock.txt" are the log entries that occur when locking and unlocking the screen. "disableenable.txt" was produced when I manually disabled and re-enabled the desktop-icons shell extension, which brings the icons back after they disappear.
