Comment # 13 on bug 1142258 from Hadrien Grasland

Back from experimenting!

After upgrading both cinnamon and muffin (forcing my way through the
typelib(Webkit) dependency error for now) using the cinnamon version from
X11:Cinnamon:Factory, cinnamon will now start upon logging in, as opposed to
crashing into IceWM right away!

However, it does so in a half-working state state, where the menu applet does
not show up in the panel anymore, and manually starting cinnamon-control-center
gives me a blank window.

I cross-checked that installing "typelib-1_0-WebKit2-4_0" does not resolve
those problems, just in case.

There is also an error about some applets and extensions failing to start
(well, duh) and encouraging me to have a look at the LookingGlass logs.
Following random internet advice, I thought those were in ~/.cinnamon/glass.log
, but actually that advice was outdated. They are now in ~/.xsessions-errors .

So, I looked at the wrong file at experimenting time and need to start over.
Will do so later on, I do not have the time to finish this for now.
