I'm running Gnome 3.0.2 on Debian GNU/Linux. I installed the extension as per the instructions:

$ ls -la ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/disable-win-anims@github.com/
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 3 kfogel kfogel 4096 Dec 4 11:54 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 kfogel kfogel 4096 Dec 4 01:35 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 kfogel kfogel 443 Dec 4 01:35 extension.js
drwxr-xr-x 8 kfogel kfogel 4096 Dec 4 11:49 .git/
-rw-r--r-- 1 kfogel kfogel 213 Dec 4 11:49 metadata.json
-rw-r--r-- 1 kfogel kfogel 1325 Dec 4 01:35 README
$

Then I restarted the shell with Alt+F2 "r" RETURN (note the README says "rr"; I think this is a typo?). However, my windows still do the slide-up/slide-down animation when I switch between workspaces.

Even though I'm not running Gnome 3.2, I still tried installing gnome-tweak-tool to make sure Shell Extensions were turned on; however, that subscreen is empty in gnome-tweak-tool, perhaps because my Gnome is < 3.2.

I also tried following Lukáš's instructions for metadata.js from the comment at

http://lukas.zapletalovi.com/2011/07/new-gnome-shell-extension-disable.html

However, metadata.js already contains this:

"shell-version": ["3.0", "3.2"],

I tried adding "3.0.2", and I tried removing everything but "3.0", with a shell restart each time, but it still doesn't change the window animation behavior.

In extension.js, I noticed this function:

// Backwards compatability with 3.0.2
function main() {
enable();
}

But I'm running exactly 3.0.2 and the extension isn't working.

Let me know if any other information would be useful.
