I had this with Linux Mint 17.2 yesterday, updated to 17.3, and had the
problem again today.
However, I fixed it by (without losing the session):
Swapping to another user (ie another virtual terminal)
sudo -s
ps -edf | grep "cinnamon --replace"
finding the pid of "cinnamon --replace" for *my* user (ie, the hung session)
Killing that pid:
kill <pid>
Swapping back to my user (the previously hung session)
clicking on a terminal window (not root)
entering:
cinnamon --replace
Everything was back to normal. :-)
This only help if you have/can get a terminal window!
Hope this helps!
