Bug Description
I have found a bug affecting (at least) mint 17.2 cinnamon 64 bit.
Steps to reproduce:
0) Make sure you have at least one icon on your desktop
1) Share one of your folder with Nemo (right click...) and check the box for guest access
2) with Nemo, browse the network and mount this shared network (on the same computer or not)
3) The folder will appear in the network mounts (Nemo side pane). Right click on it to make a shortcut and then unmount it.
4) Click on the shortcut to remount it.
5) Unmount it ===> Crash: no desktop icons, broken right-click on the desktop, broken Super key, hidden panel...
The workaround then is to restart cinnamon.
I hope this is clear.

It seems that the samba umount makes nemo crash (in the same way as entering nemo -q in a terminal). So another workaround (after the crash) is to force nemo to reload by toggling the switch the top of the desktop settings to "off" and immediately back to "on".
