Yes, indeed it does say that, but it doesn't say how to actually disable them :-)
I've tried to disable AlternateTab without success. Here's what I've tried so far:
% gsettings set org.gnome.shell disabled-extensions "@as ['AlternateTab'] % gsettings set org.gnome.shell disabled-extensions "@as ['alternate-tab']
Has anyone else managed to disable extensions?

Yes. Disabling the extension is pretty simple. Just go into the /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions directory, rename the extension folder to .backup or something like .disabled. (just keep the original folder name in case you want to re-enable later). You can then do an alt-f2 "lg" and enter and go to the extensions tab to verify what is/is not there. To make the change alt+f2 "r" enter to restart the gnome-shell.
I'd very much like to avoid doing something like that, because it's "icky". Renaming a system directory, owned by an installed package? That's not good practice for system administration in my opinion. The Gnome 3 docs say it's possible to disable installed extensions on a per-user basis, I'd much prefer doing it that way. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
