Install gnome-tweak-tool and select "Have the File Manager handle the
desktop".

That's only a partial solution. I still get a blank screen when I log in. Its necessary to manually open the file manager before the desktop icons show up.

And I still find no equivalent settings for having my input focus follow the mouse pointer, and for windows to autoraise upon gaining focus.

And I still lost all my panel applets; my weather applet, and my hardware health sensors monitoring applet.

And looks like I've heard the last of my startup sound.

The fallback mode is not much of a fallback. It does not restore any of that functionality.

I do detect a rather consistent pattern through all of this, though.

P.S. I can't find a single bit's worth of difference after installing gnome- shell-extensions-user-theme. I can't find any UI component that will supposedly offer me to set a UI scheme, even if the list of available choices is an empty list. I have "gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme" installed, yet tweaks still claims that "user theme extension not enabled". I'm ready to give up.
