Extension no longer works with GNOME Shell 44

Describe the bug
The workrave GNOME Shell extension is no longer compatible with GNOME Shell 44.

I suspect that this is because of changes GNOME made after 44.beta and before 44.rc because things used to work. See #471

To Reproduce
When I look at the extension using the gnome-extensions-app (provided by the GNOME Shell project), I see this error:

Requiring Workrave, version none: Requiring namespace 'Gtk' version '3.0', but '4.0' is already loaded

This is with GNOME Shell 44.2. GNOME Shell 44.1 and 44.0 do not work either.

** Linux **

  • Distribution: Ubuntu
  • Distribution Version: 23.04
  • Desktop Environment: GNOME
  • Workrave Version: 1.10.50-3ubuntu1

Additional context
This may require porting Workrave to GTK4 or providing a separate process for the extension than for the binary using GTK3.

Thanks for the bug report! I have released 1.10.51(.1) that contains a workaround for this issue. A new 1.11 release will follow later.

Note that this is not a full switch to Gtk4, only the Gnome/Cinnamon applet now support Gtk4

For anyone on Ubuntu 23.04 that runs into this: The Debian unstable/sid workrave packages (currently 1.10.51) can be installed on 23.04 without issues and fix this problem for me.
