There is a bug even on Debian where gnome-shell locks up when your run systemd restart tor. It appears related to extensions like weather that do network access. I'd imagined it was a bug with gnome-shell itself, not the extensions, but @jenslody fixed a similar bug in https://github.com/jenslody/gnome-shell-extension-openweather/commit/a08629900a4bba241880cb55e831e93600de6e5c or https://github.com/jenslody/gnome-shell-extension-openweather/commit/c381fbf689f4a73b6317852390747ef0ee6fe7b5 so not sure.

As an aside, I switched to restarting tor on Debian with systemctl restart tor && sleep 20 && killall -HUP gnome-shell and press crtl-c if it has not crashed.

Interesting, thanks for the update; that is pretty interesting indeed.

What we'll probably end up doing is have the control port filter track the state and report it over a dbus interface which should be more stable.

Just for clarity, I'm speaking about extensions doing their regular network access using whatever SOCK5 support gets imposed on gnome-shell. Accessing the control port could be completely different, but maybe not.
