If the GNOME shell crashes, we run a service that may disable extensions. This is important so that users will not be locked out of their own session in case an extension is causing crashes. As this is a very agressive action, we tried to only do this in the first two minutes of the session. Unfortunately, the logic was broken and would result in an unclean session shutdown. Fix this by using the newly introduced gnome-shell-disable-extensions file. This is created by the extension subsystem for a period of time to indicate the extensions may be the cause of a gnome-shell failure. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-session/issues/43 for a log of the bug happening and the gnome-session part to fix this. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/858
