Hi, I'm seeing the same behaviour here. Closing all instances of the terminal seems to restore functionality of the panel (and in the meantime, new apps can be started with alt+f2). I haven't managed to track down what exactly in the terminal triggers the bug, but I found another way to reproduce this: running x2vnc to another computer. I use x2vnc to have one keyboard/mouse control both my main computer and my laptop from time to time; when x2vnc is running, the Cinnamon panel is unresponsive; as soon as it exits, the panel comes back to life. Hopefully this can be used to help debugging.
