Bug Description
I was initially successful installing cinnamon and running it. I then changed some settings and now it crashes (Sorry an error has occurred) right after login. Sorry to be vague about the settings, but I truly don't remember what they were, and they were basic control panel preferences, nothing with gconf. I have tried complete removal & reinstall, but it still crashes.
This is update pack 4, LMDE, 64 bit, using "latest". Nvidia driver (Geforce GT 240) using dual monitor setup, Core i7, 4G.
I have since tried the Gnome 3.2.1 login, and it works fine on this machine and have been using it daily, but would like to give cinnamon a try.
I don't know what else to report, just ask.

Same problem here.
I recently started using Cinnamon as a result of the LMDE update pack 4 arriving. Was reasonably happy with it - until I hit this problem, at least.
Cinnamon was working fine until a few moments ago. I opened a PDF file and spun the mouse wheel to scroll down the PDF document and Cinnamon crashed. Ever since then I have been unable to login to that user account.
My first thought is that Cinnamon must have either corrupted some cinnamon user config files or there is some user session config file that is corrupted. Being new to Cinnamon I'm really not sure where to start looking.
