cinnamon does indeed start after installing the -proposed (1.7.4-2ubuntu4.1).

Anyway this particular bug looks fixed, updating the tag. ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1180638 Title: blank desktop at login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cinnamon/+bug/1180638/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
