    <desc>Enable GNOME Shell extensions for all users.</desc>
  </info>

  <title>Enable machine-wide extensions</title>
  
  <p>To make extensions available to all users on the system, install them in
  the <file>/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions</file> directory. Note that
  newly-installed machine-wide extensions are disabled by default. To enable
  the extensions for all users, you need to set the
  <code>org.gnome.shell.enabled-extensions</code> key.</p>

  <steps>
    <title>Setting the org.gnome.shell.enabled-extensions key</title>
    <item>
      <p>Create a <code>user</code> profile in
      <file>/etc/dconf/profile/user</file>:</p>
      <listing>
        <code>
user-db:user
system-db:local
</code>
      </listing>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Create a <code>local</code> database for machine-wide settings in
      <file>/etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-extensions</file>:</p>
      <listing>
        <code>
[org/gnome/shell]
# List all extensions that you want to have enabled for all users
enabled-extensions=['<input>[email protected]</input>', '<input>[email protected]</input>']
</code>
      </listing>
      <p>The <code>enabled-extensions</code> key specifies the enabled
      extensions using the extensions’ uuid
      (<code>[email protected]</code> and
      <code>[email protected]</code>).</p>
