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.

It might be "icky", but you asked a question...I answered it. I have it
working and do it that way for now, it works a charm, as some of those
extensions I am not fond of, having gotten used to the defaults during
the testing phase. Adding a .xxx to the end of the file disables it and
keeps the basic folder name structure intact so later if I want it back
"on" I know exactly what to change.
The package(s) are in AUR anyway, and until we get a better method of
handling the stuff, this works for me. As for good practice...its my
own machine in my own home, and I know what goes on in exquisite detail
on that box...so hey. :D (not knocking what you are saying for sys
admin purposes.)
I really do like the looking glass tool though. That is one nifty
little idsoftware kinda tool. :-)
