Unfortunately wrap-script does not work as the file 
#$gnome-shell/share/gnome-shell/org.gnome.Shell.Screencast has no 
shebang line set and even if it would ( enabled by the extra patch) gjs 
is not a valid interpreter for wrap_script and trying to change that 
rebuilds everything.


I am currently trying to find out if it is possible to do a similiar 
thing as the GI_TYPELIB_PATH with javascript. Or change the environment 
variable before through another way. My limited javascript knowledge is 
not helping here either.

Have a nice day
