I just stumbled over GtkIconLookupFlags [1].
There is a flag called GTK_ICON_LOOKUP_GENERIC_FALLBACK that seems to
invoke the undesired behavior. I did not set this flag and even when
grep-ing over the gnome-shell source code, I cannot see that this flag
is ever set.

How can I prevent the extension / gnome-shell from shorten icon names at
the '-' character?


Thanks
