Bug Description
Gnome Shell disables extensions on screen lock.
If, for example, new mail will arrived in Thunderbird during screen locked, no badges will be shown on unlock.
Also, lock/unlock screen while badges displayed will clear them.
So, in current implementation, badges looks very unreliable to rely on them, and looks more a mess than a feature.
Solution may be adding a user space daemon, which interact with applications even when dock extension is disabled, and provide badges information for dock.
