GNOME extension 'dash-to-dock': settings are not applied

Help

Hi all! I’ve configured the dash-to-dock GNOME extension via home-manager (and dconf2nix) like this:

{ lib, ... }:

{
  dconf.settings = with lib.hm.gvariant; {

    "org/gnome/desktop/input-sources" = {
      sources = [ (mkTuple [ "xkb" "de+nodeadkeys" ]) ];
    };

    "org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences" = {
      button-layout = "appmenu:minimize,maximize,close";
    };

    "org/gnome/shell" = {
      disable-user-extensions = false;

     enabled-extensions = [
        "appindicatorsupport@rgcjonas.gmail.com" 
        "caffeine@patapon.info"
        "dash-to-dock@micxgx.gmail.com"
        "launch-new-instance@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com"
      ];
    };

    "org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-doc" = {
      background-opacity = 0.8;
      click-action = "previews";
      custom-theme-shrink = true;
      dash-max-icon-size = 32;
      dock-fixed = true;
      dock-position = "LEFT";
      extend-height = true;
      height-fraction = 0.9;
      intellihide-mode = "FOCUS_APPLICATION_WINDOWS";
    };
  };
}

After running nixos-rebuild switch (and rebooting) the extensions are enabled but the settings are not applied (i.e. the dock is still at the bottom, etc.). However, when looking at the dconf settings everything seems to be correct:

dconf dump /org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-doc/
[/]
background-opacity=0.80000000000000004
click-action='previews'
custom-theme-shrink=true
dash-max-icon-size=32
dock-fixed=true
dock-position='LEFT'
extend-height=true
height-fraction=0.90000000000000002
intellihide-mode='FOCUS_APPLICATION_WINDOWS'

But although the settings are there, they are not actually (visually) applied. What am I doing wrong here and how can I fix it?

The extension name is missing a k at the end:

-   "org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-doc" = {
+   "org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-dock" = {
      background-opacity = 0.8;
      click-action = "previews";
      ...

OMG … I was so busy searching for dconf type errors and similar stuff, that I didn’t check the spelling :man_facepalming: Thanks a lot!
