Describe the bug
On GNOME Shell 50.1 with Resource Monitor v28, the extension causes gnome-shell to crash hard (SIGSEGV) by accessing already-disposed GObject instances. This kills the entire session — the user is dropped back to the login screen, which looks identical to a suspend failure.
This happened twice in the same day on the same machine, both times with the same stack.
Steps to reproduce
No specific action needed — the crash happens during normal use, apparently triggered by an async GIO callback firing after its associated UI objects have been destroyed.
Expected behavior
Extension handles disposed objects gracefully without crashing gnome-shell.
Actual behavior
gnome-shell crashes with SIGSEGV. From journalctl:
gnome-shell[4473]: Object Gio.DBusProxy (0x560e959a3810), has been already disposed — impossible to access it.

The crash originates in a GIO async callback completing after the extension's UI objects have been destroyed. The signal from libgio fires into a GJS closure that then tries to dereference already-freed St widgets, causing the SIGSEGV in gjs_value_from_gi_argument.
