Re: Icon click event

Hey,

I'm CC'ing gnome-shell-list, which is probably a better place for this
question.

It is, but in order to receive events, an actor has to be
"reactive" (blame Clutter, not gnome-shell ;-)

To achieve that, just add
  reactive: true
to icon_prop.

Though a better approach would probably be something like the following:

let icon = new St.Icon(iconProps);
let button = new St.Button({ child: icon });

button.connect('clicked', Lang.bind(this, this._onButtonClicked));
