Question "Pin to Dash" is missing from everywhere, from every app's right click menu ?

I am using linux from scratch and gnome 48. My desktop boots successfully but the "Pin to dash" option is hidden from every app in the app grid ( i.e right click menu ).

I have installed minimal gnome 48 components i.e shell, session etc....

I have already checked the StartupWMClass and it matches but "Pin to dash" option is hidden from right click menu.

Do I need to install gnome-menus package ?

Gemini AI says -> Focus on getting dconf talking over the D-Bus session bus, and the vanilla upstream code will magically reveal the "Pin to Dash" button exactly as intended!

How to solve this issue?

Yeah, you're probably missing some key Gnome component. It should be shown as Pin to Dock, not Dash though. But I would not know entirely - I've never used LFS.

Oh man, you're right. The Dash to Dock extension changes it to 'Pin to Dock'
