Force Quit Extension Doesn't Work

The force quit extension doesn’t do anything when I click on it. The following user review was left:

 [Shished](https://extensions.gnome.org/accounts/profile/Shished)     Works on 3.16 after editing metadata.json
 about a year ago

How do I edit this file and what do I change?

Gnome 3.16.2

Bump please.

The title of this reads:

Force Quit Extension Doesn’t Work

I guess that many people are like me. I have no idea what the “Force Quit Extension” is, nor even what it is an extension of.

And in general “it does not work” is the worst way to explain a problem.

Remember that nobody here can look over your shoulder or otherwise see/feel/guess what you are doing and seeing. So we depend upon your description. And that description is best proven by copied/pasted computer facts from a terminal CLI (when possible), or screenshots (can be done to http://paste.opensuse.org/)

Also remember that a good problem description contains three things (no need to present them as numbered list, but the three things must be there in some way):

  1. what did you do;
  2. what did you expect to happen;
  3. what happened instead.

And of course a title that draws the attention of people knowing about the subject is important.

Hi
It should work on 3.16 (the ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/fq@megh/metadata.json is fixed)

You need to ensure xkill is installed (it’s not by default).

Thanks, works perfectly. IMHO, xkill should be included by default. Perhaps the update script can be modified to include this after installation?

Hi
Since extensions are in user space (eg your $HOME) it’s not possible… just a ‘remember to install’ thing…

A bit wierd xkill isn’t installed by default, like glxinfo, xdpyinfo, and other nice tools. Maybe somebody should open a bug report, so at least the developers see this issue.

Hi
Space on the images for the DVD’s, not part of the GNOME pattern, never used/missed it…

Yeah it is a tradeoff. It is just nice tools for any X environment to have.
