Description of problem: The version of the extension does not match gnome-shells version $ cat /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/alternative-status-menu\@gnome-shell-extensions.gnome.org/metadata.json | grep version "shell-version": [ "3.0.1" ], which is wrong. It should be version 3.0.2, at least this is what $ gnome-shell-extension-tool --create-extension tells me. If I change it to version 3.0.2, then I have a permanent "Power Off ..." button as expected. Otherwise nothing happens at all.
