For reviewer some notes: This extension leaves a couple of function overrides active during lockscreen modes to enable toggling of background blur. Previous versions of this extension enabled user adjustable blur, but blur made the password entry a bit difficult to read. I've included commentary to document it's current behaivour (much more explicit than in previous versions). The only code that remains active is in blur.js. This is similar to what this extension does, but I have implemented it differently: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1476/unlock-dialog-background/ however I've not reimplemented functions like that extension has done. It instead performs the necessary blur adjustment before calling then original GNOME function. I've rewritten this code significantly as it was a bit hard to follow. I've also refactored the extension.js code mostly related to initialisation of the menus.
