Craig:

I have tried more extensions and find that it "appears" extensions with
prefs.js which create a new GObject.Class crash and others that just use
widgits or prototypes in prefs.js don't.  I am testing on 12.2 rc2 with
gnome-shell-3.4.2-3.7.1.x86_64.

I wonder why OpenSuse has a problem and the Fedora 17 that I installed
the 3.4.2 tarball from the Gnome repository does not crash.
