Bug Description

As the title says, Cinnamon menu gets wider and wider every after changing the theme.

Here's how its done:
- Look and remember how wide is the Cinnamon Menu.
- Try to change a theme from within LM17 Cinnamon. There are only 3 themes installed.
- Select any theme other than the one's you're currently using then apply the changes.
- Open Cinnamon Menu and the menu's width has increased.
- Try to change the theme again and select another theme then apply the changes. (do this about 20 times)

Then check how wide Cinnamon menu, it's way too wide that it almost occupies my entire screen's width.

I'm able to recreate the bug on both LM17 Cinnamon 64bit Live and on an installed LM17 Cinnamon 64bit (and fully updated).

I don't know how to restore the menu's width so I ended up reinstalling LM17 and try to avoid frequent changing of the theme.

I've discovered this bug since LM17 lunched but did nothing to report it as I was assuming that someone else will notice the bug, file a bug report and get fixed on upcoming updates.

I was wrong. Until now, bug still exists and so I decided to report the bug myself.
