Bug Description

Dec 31 12:17:04 gg-pc gnome-shell[1934]: Attempting to run a JS callback during garbage collection. This is most likely caused by destroying a Clutter actor or GTK widget with ::destroy signal connected, or using the destroy(), dispose(), or remove() vfuncs. Because it would crash the application, it has been blocked.
Dec 31 12:17:04 gg-pc gnome-shell[1934]: The offending callback was SourceFunc().
