** Description changed:

  This is an upstream issue-read the following bug reports.
  
  https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/9401
  https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/9468
  
  I will shortly publish a patch/debdiff to allow for possible SRU.
  
  This is a REGRESSION of a commit in Cinnamon 4.0.0
  
(https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin/commit/1d38120c9ded2578a14cb2e8bf46bb82b3acdc75)
  
  SRU TEMPLATE:
  
  [Impact]
  
-  * In fallback mode Cinnamon/Muffin segfaults and makes the desktop unusable.
-  
-  * This would occur by having two monitors-a laptop and an external with the 
laptop off and the external on-supposedly with NVIDIA as a driver.

  [Test Case]
-  
-  * Upstream commits example to replicate bug:
-  "Example to reproduce: Laptop monitor + external monitor.  Arrange laptop
-  monitor to the right of the external one.  Using nvidia-450 (confirmed
-  for me, at least), turn laptop monitor off.  Ignoring horrible lag from
-  driver, turn the laptop monitor back on (arranging it still to the right
-  of the external monitor)."

  [Regression Potential]
  
-  * This is actually a SOLVE of a regression-I'd task this at medium
- priority.
+ * Regressions manifesting is rather barely likely. Latest versions of Muffin 
patches this and so is upstream unstable have this patched. Regressions 
shouldn't be a threat unless:
+ 1) Dependency problem
+ 2) New versions of C causing incompatability problems or versions of 
Gobject-Introspection
  
-  * This regression fix goes back to Cinnamon 4.0.0-or when Eoan Ermine
+  * In the event of a regression, which is unlikely as of Aug 13 (UTC),
+ as Muffin's update would've been released a while ago (24 days), 2 days
+ ago the version was bumped. A new upstream version would likely patch
+ this problem aswell.
+ 
+ * After 24 days it seems there is nothing to worry about regarding
+ regressions but of course, always something to worry about.
+ 
+ * It's been about enough time, nearly a month to spot any regressions
+ from this fix.
+ 
+  * This is actually a SOLVE of a regression
+ 
+  * This regression fix goes back to Cinnamon 4.0.0-or when Eoan Ermine
  was released by getting refresh rates form xrandr
  
-  * In upstream Mint this was an SRU/release as seen here:

  [Other Info]
-  
-  * I couldn't pbuilder-dist for some reason. Missing dependencies or stuff 
didn't exist-in sbuild it did though and my debuild -S did.
  
-  * I will work on patching this in Groovy through debian unstable and

  situation/regression.
