Comment 39 for bug 1159707

I have the same issue after upgrading from 18 to 18.1. I can't even right click on the panel because nothing happens. I tried to kill it with xkill but that didn't do anything. If I restart cinnamon with "cinnamon --replace &" in the terminal, this is the output I get:

... and this keeps repeating in the terminal.
