As far as I know, gnome-shell extensions can't control stack-ed apps
in desktop background (i.e. different levels in depth).

Some time ago I wrote a Folders-in-desktop like application in vala.
I first intended to develop it as a gnome-shell extension in gjs but
it was not possible as I mentioned before, so I went the traditional
gtk.window route finally.

You have the program in:
