Hello

I'm looking for testers

I've been working on this update for some time now and using it on my work
laptop daily.

I'll consolidate here what is in the PR

I'd love it if someone would look at those and commit them.


I think I fixed almost all problems I found and all existing bugzilla PRs
that you can find by "cinnamon" pattern are covered by my PR.

The things that are not working properly so far
- you can change the timezone in the cinnamon-settings calendar. It does
change /etc/localtime, but this is not reflected on the bottom time panel.
Relogin is a workaround.
- do NOT try changing password for users via cinnamon-settings-users,
please. You'll end up wiping root password (it'll set root pwd to nothing).
This issue is outside of cinnamon. Seems like a non-linux-os-specific bug
somewhere between gobject-introspection and accountsservice
(accounts-daemon). I bet nobody ever checked this on FreeBSD. It can be
triggered by a simple python script. I'm investigating this right now. I
can share details if one is interested. Other cinnamon-settings-users
functionality is fine.

Thank you!

P. S. my further plan is to start porting the latest cinnamon version in
December or January. Probably it will be 6.4.
