Workrave is not compatible with GNOME Shell 46

[jbicha]

Describe the bug
I built workrave with --enable-gnome45 and tweaked metadata.json to include "46". When I tried enabling the extension on GNOME Shell 46 Beta, I got this error in Extension Manager

Extension workrave@workrave.org: TypeError: this._box.add_actor is not a function

Should be fixed in beta11. Not yet in 1.10

Also committed to 1.10 (5a6d524)

Thank you for implementing the fix. Any indication as to when it will be released? Ubuntu LTS and Fedora ship with GNOME 46 now, so the fix would be a big help to those users.

The current Ubuntu LTS already has the required fixes: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/workrave/1.10.52-2ubuntu1

I see a Fedora release as well, and 1.10.52 - 4.fc40 is reported as installed on my machine, but the GNOME extension manager is still reporting the extension as incompatible 🤔

You need to report that issue to the Fedora maintainer.
