Since a few days I have been getting the same problem on a Mint 14 Nadia 64 bit with Cinnamon 1.6.7 (I have all recent updates installed).

From my observations, it always happens after I start Google Chrome with quite a few tabs. Then Cinnamon freezes, but luckily I am able to switch to a text console (CTRL+ALT+F1), log in and clearly see that cinnamon process is taking about 100% CPU. Killing it helps instantly, I am able to go back to the GUI (CTRL+ALT+F7).
