Comment 1 for bug 982051

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.
