Comment 41 for bug 1081842

Linux 15 with NVIDIA drivers
I was also confronted with the issue of not being able to use the categories.
I restarted Cinnamon to no avail but was then confronted with the shutdown window with the 60 seconds waiting and no other buttons than "Cancel".
It was also strange that Chromium did not want to start up (?!?)
Then went to the applets (rightclick panel), set panel-edit-mode to "on" and restarted Cinnamon and restarted the computer.
Mysteriously the Menu is working again and the Shutdown window is giving me again the options.

I do not want to repeat this becasue all now is working again and I do not want things to mess up.
